    Open AccessJacqueline M Burgette, Miroslav Vujičić et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2020

  • Geographic access to dental care varies in Missouri and Wisconsin

    The Health Resources and Services Administration, which designates dental health professional shortage areas, relies on administrative boundaries to calculate population to dental provider ratios.

  • The Effect of the Affordable Care Act’s Expanded Coverage Policy on Access to Dental Care

    Miroslav Vujičić, Marko Vujicic et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2014References: 6

This policy does not apply directly to private dental benefits. However, for various reasons it could still have an indirect "spillover" effect if employers voluntarily expand dental coverage in conjunction with medical coverage. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of the Affordable Care Act's dependent c…
