This study identified the characteristics of job characteristics, oral health status, and health-related quality of life. In addition, this study was conducted to confirm the effect of oral health status on health-related quality of life (EQ-5D). Using raw data from the 8th National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2019), 3,040 workers were the subject of study, and complex sample statistical analysis was performed. To analyze oral health status, perceived subjective oral health status, speaking problems, and chewing problems were used as variables. As a result, occupational classification and employment type (regular or non-regular) were statistically related to oral health status (p<.05). The total score of EQ-5D was higher in the group with good oral health (p<.05). The risk of interfering with usual activities of non-regular workers was 0.37 times lower than that of regular workers, and the risk of disrupting self-management was 3.52 times higher in the group with chewing problem than counterpart (p<.05). A systematic oral health promotion project and quality of life improvement program should be prepared for each working group so that oral health inequality and EQ-5D gap do not occur depending on employment type.
