The main objective of this study was to gain insight into the relationships between patient demographics, patient health and their dental caries at Volunteer Dental Outreach for Haliburton County (VDOHC). Data collection consisted of a survey regarding patient demographics, general health, and oral health status and the factors that affect the number of teeth with dental caries was analyzed. It was hypothesized that accessibility to dental care for low-income individuals will affect the number of teeth with dental caries, that age will affect the number of teeth with dental caries, that gender will affect the number of teeth with dental caries, and that a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) will affect the number of teeth with dental caries. The results supported the first hypothesis and found that patients who received dental care at VDOHC had a higher average number of decayed, missing, and filled teeth than the Canadian population in the lowest equivalized household income quintile. The subsequent hypotheses were not supported based on the results that were found in this study. Understanding the relationships between patient demographics, general health and oral health status will assist in improving patient treatment at VDOHC.
