Groth presented her abstract, “Oral Health Behaviors Associated with Mental Health Disorders” during the “Oral Health and Systemic Conditions” oral session March 14, 2024, in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The study examined the self-reported oral health behaviors, recommended recare intervals, and frequency of returning for recare visits among patients with self-reported mental health disorders.
