Abstract
This article explores psychosocial barriers to dental care and implications for caries management. At-risk populations experience an increased potential for stressors and obstacles that interrupt oral health care and lessen the potential for these groups to pursue dental treatment. These impediments may include financial restrictions, lack of reliable transportation, or inappropriate informed consent. Involving a social worker in dental caries management can help patients to overcome the barriers that hinder oral health care. An increased awareness of these barriers, along with the resources that are available, may help dental providers to better reach their patients and manage dental caries.
