<p>Dental health is an important aspect of one’s health and
well-being (American Dental Association, 2015).
This research analyzes six factors (income level, weather, sales tax,
population density, dentist density, and water quality) to examine their relationship
with oral health conditions based on 2015 state-level data in the United States. The results show that these factors indeed affect
oral health conditions. The analysis
results clearly show that income level, dentist density, temperature, and water
quality have significant positive effects while temperature has a negative
effect effects on oral health at state level.</p><p><br></p>
<p>Furthermore, this study uses a multilinear regression
algorithm stepwise method to build three predictive models on different income groups,
using the above factors to predict oral health. These models can be a helpful
reference for further research in related areas, including but not limited to
insurance companies, research institutes that work on improving public oral
health, and government agencies.</p>
