The emergency department as a ‘last resort’: why parents seek care for their child's nontraumatic dental problems in the emergency room
ConclusionsThe ED was families’ last resort; parents took their child to the ED because of the lack of other options in their communities rather than a belief that the ED was the best choice for dental care. The current pattern of ED use resulted in stress for these parents and repercussions for the children (e.g., pain, longer waiting, and increased complications); further, it has been shown in the literature to be an economic strain on the health system.

The amount of care delivered: challenges of indices in oral health studies
ConclusionsWe argue that epidemiological studies of oral health in the future should clarify the definitions used to describe the care delivered and investigate subgroups of F/DMF or F/DF in categories based on the extent of caries. These figures could be used to monitor changes in treatment provision and to highlight inequalities in the provision of care. (Source: Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology)
