abstract: 'Introduction: Working poor (WP) Canadians are those who work >= 20
hours/week, are not full-time students, and have annual family incomes
<\$34,300. They have unique vulnerabilities and face significant
barriers to accessing dental care because they rarely receive.
employment-based dental benefits and are ineligible for publicly funded
dental programs. This research aimed to understand whether WP Canadians
would prefer extraction rather than tooth restoration and preservation
when they have toothache. Methods: A cross-sectional stratified sampling
study design and telephone survey methodology was used to collect data
from a nationally representative sample of 1049 WP individuals aged
18-64 years. A pretested questionnaire included sociodemographic and
self-reported oral health questions and asked participants to select
their preference for maintaining versus extracting an aching tooth. By
using bivariate and logistic regression analyses, we applied the
Gelberg-Andersen Behavioral Model for Vulnerable Populations to
understand what influences treatment preferences among this population
(P <= .05). Results: The majority of participants (86\%) preferred to
save and fill an aching tooth rather than take it out. Those who were
older, partially dentate, reported a history of oral pain, had their
last dental visit more than 3 years ago, or who only visited the dentist
when in pain were significantly more likely to opt for tooth extraction.
Conclusions: The majority of WP Canadians value preserving their natural
dentition. Effective dental care service delivery in both private and
public settings requires an understanding of the possible factors that
influence WP persons'' preferences for essential treatment modalities in
dentistry.'
