Understanding oral health care seeking behaviour and it's determinants is essential in improving oral health. The health care utilization in women was found to be influenced by their autonomy.

The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), which takes into account women's autonomy, attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control, is empirically tested in this study with regard to self-reported dental visiting intentions and dental health seeking behaviour.
