Abstract

Good oral health is important for overall health and wellbeing; poor oral health disproportionately affects disadvantaged groups and is associated with various non-communicable diseases, many of which have shared risk factors, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Regular dental attendance with risk assessment optimises oral health. Due to an ageing dentate population, demands on oral health services are predicted to increase in Ireland. This cross-sectional assessment of oral health service utilisation aimed to inform equitable national resource allocation.
