Overview

Cross-sectional study identifies trends in dental service use among older people, highlighting income and education's impact.

Key Points

  • Older individuals with 12 or more years of study showed higher dental service utilization, with an odds ratio of 8.22.
  • Females were less likely to visit a dentist in 2008 compared to males, having an odds ratio of 0.65.
  • Younger adults (up to 74 years) were more likely to have visited a dentist in both 2008 and 2015 compared to older counterparts.
  • Factors like income and health insurance influenced dental visits, especially in 2008 and 2015, necessitating policy attention.
