We leveraged a policy reform, raising the school leaving age, as an instrumental variable (IV) to estimate the effect of education on edentulism and dental visits in the United States using the repeated cross-sectional data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 463,878). We additionally examined the effect of education on dental visits using longitudinal data from the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE;\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">N<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 69,929). Applying IV probit models, we found 1 extra year of schooling reduced edentulism likelihood by 2.9 percentage points (95% confidence interval [CI]: \u22120.041; \u22120.017) and increased dental visit likelihood by 1.2 percentage points (95% CI: 0.01; 0.024) in the United States, with similar effects on dental visits in Europe. Estimates were robust to different model specifications and plausible amounts of imperfect exogeneity. Negative control analysis supported the validity of our findings. This study provides consistent evidence that extended schooling reduces edentulism risk and increases regular dental attendance.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00220345251316815","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,15]],"date-time":"2025-02-15T01:21:56Z","timestamp":1739582516000},"page":"489-494","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Education, Tooth Loss, and Dental Visits: Evidence from Schooling Reforms"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"104","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9391-6602","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.-E.","family":"Baumeister","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Services Research in Dentistry, University of M\u00fcnster, M\u00fcnster, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8176-3397","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S.","family":"Listl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Heidelberg Institute of Global Health - Section for Oral Health, Heidelberg University Hospital, Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4288-6300","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"G.G.","family":"Nascimento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Dental Research Institute Singapore, National Dental Centre Singapore, Singapore"},{"name":"Oral Health Academic Programme, Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6893-7367","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.","family":"Nolde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Health Services Research in Dentistry, University of M\u00fcnster, M\u00fcnster, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ger.12681"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41569-023-00941-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/00220345231184181"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpe.13581"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.econlet.2017.07.004"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"Brunello G Fort M Weber G Weiss C. 2013.
