Dental Visiting Patterns and Their Associations With Dental Caries and Periodontal Diseases
Dental visiting patterns of Australian adults were associated with their socioeconomic backgrounds. Usually visiting for a dental problem, making dental visits less frequently, and not using a regular dentist were more likely to be associated with higher levels of dental caries and periodontal diseases. These findings may help clinicians to recognize patients at increased risk for dental caries and periodontal diseases while apprising policy makers to plan and implement programs for dental service provision.
