What is Research Brief: Emergency Department Use For Dental Conditions Continues To Increase about?

Emergency department (ED) visits for dental conditions in the U.S. have increased, costing the healthcare system $1.6 billion in 2012. While visits among young adults aged 19 to 25 have declined, overall ED usage for dental issues remains high, particularly among older age groups, with Medicaid covering a growing share of these costs. There are opportunities to reduce ED visits through improved access to preventive dental care and targeted referral programs.
