Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the oral health perception and dental care use experience of homeless persons in Korea.
Materials and Methods: Nine homeless persons were recruited from homeless welfare facilities in Seoul. Participants were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire by an interviewer. Data analysis was guided by grounded theory methodology and involved constant comparison, coding and memo-writing.
Results: Homeless persons recognized the dental care needs due to serious dental problems. Due to cost issues, they
prioritized using self-care, and used dental care with the help of family or homeless facilities. Satisfaction was expressed through perceptions and attitudes regarding the process of using dental care.
Conclusion: There is a need to carry out more qualitative study and representative quantitative research for understanding homeless person's access to dental care.
