  • Advancing Our Understanding of Dental Care Pathways of Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Canada

    Open AccessNazik Nurelhuda, Mark Keboa et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    The burden of oral diseases and need for dental care are high among refugees and asylum seekers (humanitarian migrants). Canada's Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) provides humanitarian migrants with limited dental services; however, this program has seen several fluctuations over the past decade. An earlier study on the experiences of humanitarian migrants in Quebec, Canada, developed the dental care pathways of humanitarian migrants model, …

    Open AccessMary Ellen Macdonald, Mark Keboa et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    Canada received over 140,000 refugees and asylum seekers between 2015 and 2017. This paper presents a protocol with the purpose of generating robust baseline data on the oral health of this population and build a long-term program of research to improve their access to dental care in Canada. The three-phase project uses a sequential mixed methods design, with the Behavioral Model for Vulnerable Populations as the conceptual framework. In Phase 1a…

  • Perceived professional roles and implications for clinical decision‐making

    Open AccessBonnie Yu, Abdulrahman Ghoneim et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2019

    Dentists' PPRs had a significant relationship to the aggressiveness of treatment decisions. Demographic and practice characteristics also had significant relationships to PPR. These findings may have implications for public trust and dentistry's status as a health care profession

  • Oral health literacy and oral health outcomes in an adult population in Brazil

    Open AccessMarília Jesus Batista, Herenia P Lawrence et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    Adjusting for age, sex and SES, OHL is related to a risk factor (biofilm) and a consequence of poor oral health (emergency dental visits) and can interfere with the impact of oral diseases on quality of life. As low OHL can be modified, the results support oral health promotion strategies directed at improving critical and communicative oral health literacy in adult populations

  • Cost as a barrier to accessing dental care

    Open AccessBrandy Thompson, Peter Cooney et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2014

    Nearly one out of five Canadians surveyed reported cost barriers to dental care. This study provides valuable baseline information for future studies to assess whether financial barriers to dental care are getting better or worse for Canadians

  • Self‐reported racism and experience of toothache among pregnant A boriginal A ustralians

    Open AccessJehonathan Ben, Yin Paradies et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2014Cited by: 9References: 10

    The findings indicate that high levels of self-reported racism were associated with experience of toothache and that sense of control, but not perceived stress, mediated the association between self-reported racism and experience of toothache among this sample of pregnant Aboriginal Australian women. Social support did not moderate the association between self-reported racism and experience of toothache

  • Lack of Oral Care Policies in Toronto Daycares

    Open AccessElena Gartsbein, Herenia P Lawrence et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2009

    Many daycares do not have a policy regarding oral hygiene. A policy that encourages and provides guidance on safe tooth-brushing procedures is needed and may improve the oral health of preschool children

  • Prevalence of Early Childhood Caries in a Population of Children with History of Maltreatment

    Open AccessNancy Valencia‐Rojas, Herenia P Lawrence et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2008

    Abused and neglected young children had higher levels of tooth decay than the general population of 5-year-olds in Toronto (30 percent prevalence, mean dt= 0.42, SD = 1.20, n = 3185). However, this study did not find any difference in ECC prevalence between children with different types of maltreatment. The study did find that CAST services had a protective effect on children's oral health, which supports the recommendation that child protection …

  • General Health Status and Changes in Chewing Ability in Older Canadians over Seven Years

    Open AccessDavid Locker, David Matear et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2002

    The results of this study indicate a marked increase in the prevalence of chewing problems in this older adult population over the seven-year observation period. Poorer general health at baseline increased the probability of the onset of a chewing problem and decreased the probability of recovery
