Suboptimal Oral Health, Multimorbidity, and Access to Dental Care
This study offers insights into the connection among suboptimal oral health, multimorbidity, and access to dental care factors in middle-aged and older Canadians. The findings can be of value for clinicians and policy makers aiming to enhance medical-dental integration and improve accessibility to dental care and to patients seeking information about the connections between oral health and chronic conditions. Implementation has the potential to enhance individual well-being and drive systemic improvements in health care.
