Exploring Oral Health Disparities in the <scp>2022 BRFSS</scp> : The Impact of Rural/Urban Status and Adverse Childhood Experiences

The findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions that address geographic and psychosocial determinants, particularly in rural areas, and highlight the importance of trauma-informed care in dental practice.
