Lower-income participants had reduced dental visiting scores [17.5 (95% CI: 17.1\u201318.0)] than higher-income groups [20.0 (95% CI: 19.6\u201320.4)], and higher dental self-care scores [17.7 (95% CI: 17.3\u201318.0)] than mid-income participants [17.6 (95% CI: 17.2\u201318.0)]. Higher-income individuals were likelier to have visited a dentist in the last 12 months (39.5%) and brush daily (36.9%) than lower-income individuals (29.7% and 30.0%). Full behavioural adjustment attenuated SES disparities in quality of life (unadjusted \u03b2 = \u22122.7, 95% CI: \u22123.4 to \u22122.1; adjusted \u03b2 = \u22122.0, 95% CI: \u22122.7 to \u22121.3), but not caries experience (unadjusted \u03b2 = \u22120.8, 95% CI: \u22121.3 to \u22120.3; adjusted \u03b2 = \u22120.7, 95% CI: \u22121.2 to \u22120.1).\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Oral health behaviours were associated with reduced socioeconomic inequalities in quality of life.
