1Dental Public Health, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Objectives:
To: a) Familiarize readers with the concept of a basic income guarantee (BIG) and its different forms; b) Consider how BIG could improve oral health and decrease oral health disparities; c) Motivate readers to advocate for the evaluation of oral health outcomes in BIG experiments.
Methods:
Published articles and book chapters that have analyzed and reviewed data from past BIG pilot projects were examined for their findings on health and socioeconomic outcomes.
Results:
Our findings suggest various areas and mechanisms whereby BIG can influence oral health-related outcomes, whether through impacts on work, illness and injury, education, a social multiplier effect, expenditure behavior, and/or mental illness and other health outcomes.
Conclusion:
Our findings illustrate the importance of assessing oral health-related outcomes in future BIG pilot projects.
