\nResume:
\nBackground: Oral health is an important component of overall health and well-being. The ever-increasing cost of dental
\nservices makes it inaccessible to most of the population.
\nThe purpose of the study: to study the accessibility of the adult population in free dental medical care.
\nMaterials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 115 respondents who were
\ninterviewed using the author’s questionnaire «Patient satisfaction with the work of the dental service\u201d and examined by a
\ndentist to identify oral diseases. The main group consisted of people of retirement age who could receive dental care at the
\nexpense of the Republican budget \u2013 36 people, the control group included people younger than retirement age (63 years for
\nmen, 61 years for women) – 79 people.
\nResults: The survey showed that most patients go to the dentist only for urgent need, with a preventive purpose only 5% of
\nthe main group and 14% of the control group. None of the patients had an income below the subsistence level per family
\nmember, however, most patients in both groups need free dental care (87% of the main group and 80% of the control group),
\nthe main reason for rare visits to the dentist is financial constraints.
\nConclusions: Even though the respondents did not have an income below the subsistence level, most of them needed free
\ndental care.
