In this quantitative study, I analyzed the differences between those with and without access to dental care and evaluated differences among respondents based upon their socioeconomic and demographic attributes. I collected data from patients treated at Mt. Juliet Family & Cosmetic Dentistry and at the Coweta Samaritan Clinic via a 17-item questionnaire. Most respondents would be willing to accept treatment from someone in this role. The majority of respondents also believed it would be a positive step towards meeting the needs of the uninsured and underserved. Demographic data had no significant impact on their opinion of this role. 2016-08-01T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/3127 https://dc.etsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4534&context=etd Copyright by the authors.
