Article Synopsis
- Psychiatric inpatients experience poorer oral health and face barriers to dental care even when services are available in hospitals.
- The study used qualitative interviews with dentists in French psychiatric hospitals to explore these barriers, identifying patient-related issues, internal hospital organization problems, and broader healthcare system challenges.
- Dentists highlighted that while in-site dental consultations could improve access to care for these patients, they still encounter significant obstacles in providing effective treatment.
