    提要註: Oral health is an important aspect of overall health and well-being. Women's oral health is especially important during the pregnancy and postpartum periods as poor oral health has been connected to higher rates of low-birth weight, preeclampsia, and preterm birth. Maintaining good oral health during pregnancy is thus critical for preventing poor health outcomes for both mother and baby. But previous research shows that low-income populations and women both face inequities in the oral healthcare system. This thesis explores the relationship between dental insurance coverage and oral healthcare utilization among low-income, reproductive age women using cross-sectional, 2018 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Health Interview Survey. I add new understanding to the growing body of oral health and public policy literature by focusing on this subpopulation. My analysis examines a range of different types of insurance coverage, including private plans that provide coverage for both medical and dental care, private health insurance plans that have no dental coverage, single service dental plans, and Medicaid. I also control for a series of demographic factors. Findings reveal that low-income women of reproductive age with any form of health or dental insurance are significantly more likely to have a dental visit compared to those who have neither health nor dental insurance. The empirical results underscore the pivotal role insurance plays in facilitating access to dental care services, particularly for low-income women.
