Background.
Although
disability has associations with poor health and reduced access to health care
services, limited research exists on the connection between disability, oral
health, and oral health care use. Moreover, to the authors’ knowledge, no study
has examined the association between disability and oral health
around the time of pregnancy. This is an important gap
in research, considering that both disability and oral health play
a critical role in maternal and infant wellbeing.
Keywords.
