Examining the accuracy of caregivers' assessments of young children's oral health status

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Caregivers' perceptions of their young children's oral health status (OHS) are a strong determinant of whether the children visit a dentist. Our aims were to quantify the correlation between caregivers' assessments and their children's clinically determined restorative treatment needs, while investigating factors related to this association.
