Article Synopsis
- The study examined how health insurance affects access to oral health services (OHS) in Peru between 2015 and 2019, particularly for low-income populations facing high treatment costs.
- It used data from the National Household Survey, analyzing responses from over 4,000 individuals over five years to determine the relationship between health insurance status and OHS usage.
- Results indicated that consistent health insurance coverage was linked to a higher likelihood of using OHS, suggesting that improving insurance access could enhance oral health care in Peru.*

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, quasi-experimental study design using data from 4452 children between 24 and 36 months of age available in the Early Childhood Development (ECD) section of the Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) 2019 survey.
