The Role of Dental Practice in Disparities in Access to Dental Care

​Not all dental care providers are alike and variations in service delivery can contribute significantly to access in general, and racial/ethnic and income disparities to access in particular. Dentist characteristics such as age, gender, size of practice, and accepting publicly insured patients are likely to ameliorate or exacerbate access by race/ethnicity or income. In this seminar, Nadereh Pourat, director of research and an expert on oral health, examines these relationships using CHIS data.
