Oral health, quality of life and general health of people from refugee and asylum-seeking backgrounds from South Asia and the Middle East resettled in South Australia: a cross sectional survey

This study highlights the significant barriers to good oral health for people from refugee and asylum-seeking backgrounds and the broader impacts of poor oral health on quality of life and general health. The findings indicate the importance of better oral health supports for new arrivals, including facilitation of access to affordable dental care and culturally appropriate health promotion interventions.
