Description
Nan Jiang and co-authors check whether Norway's COVID lockdown skewed subsidized dental care by income, in this 2025 register study. The data cover nearly four million adults. Uptake of the subsidized care fell from about three percent before lockdown to under half a percent during it, then partly recovered.
Inequality measures stayed tiny at every stage, and shrank to nothing once background traits were counted. Extra analyses backed the same picture. The authors conclude the lockdown, for all its disruption, did not tilt access to this care toward the better-off.
