Examining Economic Burden of Dental Caries Across Socioeconomic Groups and Potential Cost-Reduction Strategies

Posted: November 21, 2024
The article delves into the economic burden of dental caries across different socioeconomic groups in six countries and the potential cost reductions from oral health-promoting interventions. It highlights the disproportionately high costs and progression rates of caries in the most deprived groups, emphasizing the need for early and continuous preventive measures. By applying targeted preventive interventions, particularly in the most deprived populations, significant reductions in per-person costs for caries management can be achieved. This underscores the importance of integrating oral health into overall healthcare strategies to alleviate the economic impact of dental caries.
