Intersectionality of gender, race/skin color and dental loss in adults: cross-sectional study with data from the 2019 Brazilian National Health Survey
Dental loss is associated with the intersectionality of gender, race/skin color. White and Black women appear to be more susceptible to dental loss. Social mechanisms such as racism and sexism may be intrinsically linked to the observed patterns of dental loss, highlighting the need to include actions on these mechanisms in existing national oral health policies, prioritizing disadvantaged segments.
