According to a survey among U.S. adults, relevant differences were reported by consumers with and without coverage when deciding to go to the dentist. It was reported that 85 percent of adults with insurance coverage visited the dentist at least once during 2022, while this rate dropped to 64 percent among adults with no insurance. This gap was slightly smaller when comparing children.
