Abstract

Household surveys in 12 low income areas found large differences in dental visit rates after control for income and race. The dental visit rate for Red Hook (NYC) exceeded the national rate whereas in 7 of the areas the rate was below national averages by 40% or more. The ranges in dental visit rate for low income Blacks was from two thirds the national rate (in 2 areas of the South) to 2 to 3 times greater than the comparable national rate (in 3 areas of the Northeast). Lesser but nevertheless large variations among area dental visit rates existed for other race and income groups.
