NCHS Data Brief. 2021 Dec(424):1-8.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends regular preventive dental examinations and cleanings for children starting from the time their first tooth appears or by age 1 year (1). In 2020, dental practices adjusted their services in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and access to dental care was disrupted for many Americans (2,3). This report uses data from the 2019 and 2020 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) to describe recent changes in the prevalence of dental examinations or cleanings in the past 12 months among children aged 1-17 years by selected sociodemographic characteristics.
美国儿童牙科学会建议，儿童从第一颗牙齿萌出或 1 岁起（1），应定期进行预防性牙科检查和清洁。2020 年，牙科诊所根据 COVID-19 大流行调整了服务，许多美国人（2，3）的牙科护理机会受到了干扰。本报告使用 2019 年和 2020 年全国健康访谈调查（NHIS）的数据，按选定的社会人口特征描述了 1-17 岁儿童在过去 12 个月内接受牙科检查或清洁的比例最近的变化。
