Overview

Analysis shows oral health behaviours improve quality of life in adults, highlighting socioeconomic disparities in self-care.

Key Points

  • Quality of life improved with better oral health behaviours across socioeconomic status groups, impacting access.
  • Lower-income adults had significantly fewer dental visits and less frequent toothbrushing, demonstrating care gaps.
  • Observational analysis revealed a notable SES gradient in oral health behaviours linked to quality of life outcomes.
  • Improved self-care practices may help reduce socioeconomic inequalities, yet caries experience remained unaffected.
