Dental health ‐care service utilisation and its determinants in West Iran: a cross‐sectional study

ConclusionOur study indicates that dental health‐care utilisation among households in the study area was influenced by a number of factors, including being socio‐economically disadvantaged, self‐rated poor oral health and not regularly brushing own teeth. Therefore, in this setting, dental‐intervention programmes, including dental health insurance, should focus on mechanisms that can strengthen utilisation of preventive dental health‐care services among disadvantaged households.
