This situation is exacerbated by economic factors, as many rural residents cannot afford dental insurance or out-of-pocket dental care costs. Initiatives to address these issues include mobile dental clinics, teledentistry, and efforts to increase the number of dental professionals in underserved areas, but the problem remains complex and deeply rooted in both economic and cultural resistance.
