Filling The Dental Insurance Coverage Gap
Thirty percent of U.S. adults don’t have dental insurance. In fact, three times more adults lack dental insurance than health insurance, according to a survey by CareQuest Institute. Twenty-five percent of people without dental insurance say their health has gotten worse over the past year compared to 20% of those with dental insurance. Disparities in oral health are found in many populations including people of color, low-income or uninsured people, and veterans.
