Barriers for why pregnant women do not visit a dentist on a regular basis: using group concept mapping methodology

Of the five clusters, 'economic reasons' and 'lack of priority' were rated as the most important clusters. Accordingly, such barriers should be considered in the planning of future strategies of dental care during pregnancy.PMID:37982800 | DOI:10.1080/00016357.2023.2283198
