Implication

Cross-sectional analysis reveals significant disparities in oral health care access associated with income and housing instability.

Key Points

  • Disadvantaged social determinants are associated with lacking oral health care utilization, especially for young adults.
  • 32.2% of young adults reported not receiving oral health care, significantly linked to low income and no insurance.
  • Multivariate logistic regression analysis shows strong relationships between SDOH and access to oral health care.
  • The findings emphasize the need for policy interventions to integrate dental care into broader healthcare strategies.
