Patients/community members discuss health literacy. (2023)
I feel like I received education on maybe the very basics of oral health, like brushing, flossing, things like that. But there was a point a couple of years ago when I thought I needed a root canal, and I just didn’t really know. I went to someone who did that, and then they said I don’t need it. And I kind of wish I knew a little more of what that actually meant or what that would look like so that I could even know how to advocate for myself in those situations. So that would’ve been helpful.
