New Interactive Tool Allows Users To Explore Declines in Dental Visits During COVID-19

AHRQ's latest interactive data visualization (https://www.ahrq.gov/data/hcup/dental-utilization.html) allows users to explore how dental visits were substantially reduced early in the COVID-19 pandemic compared with prepandemic trends. The tool offers data insights on dental service utilization, expenditures and both office and emergency department dental visits. Data can be explored by age, year, and other factors. 

The data visualization is based on two AHRQ statistical briefs from AHRQ’s Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project and Medical Expenditure Panel Survey.
