  • Title: Would you believe, decreases in dental caries and increases in the demand for dental care?
    Author: Waldman HB.
    Journal: ASDC J Dent Child; 1989; 56(4):257-61. PubMed ID: 2668364.
    Abstract:
    A review is provided of the continuing reports of decreases in the dental decay rates in school children and the concurrent increasing general use of dental services. An NIDR report on the 1986-87 national study of nearly 40,000 children provides data supporting such a conclusion. National Health Survey data from 61,522 interviewees show increases in the percentage of children with visits to a dentist in the previous year; there was a decrease in the percentage of all children who had never visited a dentist.
