Dentistry for babies: why do parents seek dental care?
Robinson Frederico Cunha / Jaqueline Xavier Matos / Suzimary Moya A.P. Marfinati

This study investigated what are the main reasons that led parents to enroll children in a clinic for infants. This was studied by consulting 1368 records during the period from July 1996 to August 2001.
The predominant reason for enrolling was orientation/prevention followed by “other” and treatment.
This study demonstrated that a program for children from the first year of life encourages parents to have a new vision of dentistry.
