“…Thus, it is possible that the dental services used did not resolve the issues. A previous study, conducted among preschool children in Montes Claros (MG - Brazil), identified a lower chance of using dental services among those who had never had dental caries experience,25 which evidences the possibility that injuries or pain did not occur, leading to non-use of the service.…”

Objective:To describe the prevalence of dental pain in Brazilian preschoolers, as well as its associated factors, considering a representative sample of that population group in Brazil.Methods:Cross-sectional study that used the analytical data from national oral health survey (SB Brazil) carried out in 2010. A representative sample of Brazilian preschoolers aged 5 years was considered. Interviews were carried out (answered by parents/tutors), as well as clinical examinations in children. Descriptive, bivariate and mutiple analyzes were performed, described in odds ratios and 95% confidence interval (OR/95%CI).Results:7280 preschoolers were included. Of these, 1520 (21.1%) had dental pain in the last 6 months. The chance of the occurrence of dental pain was higher among those who used dental services (1.51/1.02–2.23), with tooth decay (3.08/2.08–4.56), that self-perceveid the need for dental treatment (3.96/2.48–6.34), whose parents reported dissatisfaction by children with their teeth and mouth (1.47/1.04–2.10) and those who reported impact of oral problems on quality of life (5.76/3.90–8.49).Conclusions:The prevalence of dental pain among Brazilian preschool children was relatively high, being associated with the use of dental services and the normative and subjective oral health status.

“…Low perceived need in oral health by the child's parents/guardians 23 , time schedule not compatible with the demand 20 and high repressed demand can increase the number of appointment absences 22 . In addition to supervised oral hygiene actions 9 and topical application of fluoride 9 , an initiative that can increase children's access to dental services is the Health in School Program -HSP, as an intersectoral strategy between the Ministries of Health and Education in order to promote integral health care of the students in the public education 23 . Children with higher numbers of teeth needing treatment showed a higher prevalence of service use, which has also been observed in other studies [24][25] .…”

“…This finding is similar to the ones obtained in the present study, which indicated that several children and adolescents had received emergency care during their last dental appointment. This could be associated with unequal access to regular dentists [21][22][23], since the main problem related to toothache [8,[24][25][26][27] and to the use of emergency services [11,28,29], the so-called dental caries, is a disease that can be easily prevented and treated when it is diagnosed early on during primary health care. Another important aspect concerns the type of intervention made at UPAs, as such interventions are predominantly palliative [11] and decayed teeth are left untreated, which could quickly lead to a new acute or infectious event.…”

Objective: To evaluate the factors related to the dental emergency care of children and adolescents in Basic Health Units (UBS) and Emergency Care Units (UPA) affiliated with the public dental network of Curitiba, Brazil. Material and Methods: Crosssectional study that evaluated 1,012 emergency cases in individuals aged up to 17 years old and with a permanent record in the Unified Health System of Curitiba. Demographic data of individuals and of services were taken from electronic medical records. Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test and chi-square test for linear trend (α = 0.05), estimating the prevalence ratio (PR) (95%CI). Results: Of the total of emergency cases, 68.2% and 31.8% were of children and adolescents, respectively. UBS accounted for 89.7% of the cases while UPA represented 10.3%, and 12.2% of the treatments were characterized as first access to the system. Adolescents used UPAs for emergency care more often than children (PR = 1.84; 95%CI: 1.28-2.64). Among children, those with more than 1 year since the last appointment used UPAs for emergency care more often (PR = 1.86; 95%CI: 1.09-3.17). Adolescents for whom emergency care was characterized as first access to the system used UPAs more often (PR = 2.16; 95%CI: 1.04-4.46). The proximity between the UBS of origin and the UPA was associated with greater UPA utilization by both groups. Conclusion: UBSs accounted for most of the dental emergency treatments. Children and adolescents with a poorer connection with UBSs and those who lived near an UPA had a higher prevalence of UPA utilization for emergency care.
