The utilisation of preschool dental services was examined prospectively in a birth cohort of New Zealand 4-year-old children. There were highly significant associations between non-utilisation of dental care services and a series of measures of family social background and the quality of care provided to the child. Factors associated with increased risks of non-utilisation of dental services included: mother of non-European ethnic origin; low gross family income; single parent family; non-attendance at preschool education facilities; failure to attend community nurse services and a lower utilisation of routine child health care services including immunisations and routine postnatal checks. The implications of the non-utilisation of preschool dental care are discussed in the context of the more general problem of providing an adequate and equitable standard of health care for children.
对新西兰一个出生队列中的4岁儿童进行了前瞻性研究，以考察其对学前牙科服务的利用情况。未使用牙科护理服务与一系列家庭社会背景指标以及儿童所接受的护理质量之间存在高度显著的关联。与牙科服务未使用率增加风险相关的因素包括：非欧洲族裔的母亲；家庭总收入低；单亲家庭；未参加学前教育机构；未接受社区护士服务以及对常规儿童保健服务（包括免疫接种和常规产后检查）的利用率较低。在为儿童提供充足且公平的医疗保健这一更普遍问题的背景下，讨论了未使用学前牙科护理的影响。
