Attitudes and lifestyle factors in relation to oral health and dental care in Sweden: a cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSIONS: Swedish adults regard their oral health as important, those with periodontitis have a more negative perception of their oral health and are less prone to seek help. These discouraging findings suggest the need for targeted measures, which focus on improving the care of this group of patients. PMID: 30632867 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
