Improving Dental Care Access: Affordability, Availability, & Acceptability

This study looked at how low-income adults, dentists, and related service providers view access to dental care. It highlights perceptions of need, evidence of unmet needs, and three access dimensions—affordability, availability, and acceptability. The findings describe how private fee-for-service models can miss the needs of low-income communities, with cost concerns, limited willingness to treat certain patients, and cultural mismatches between practices and community needs.
