Health Visit. 1994 Mar;67(3):88-9.
A study to investigate attitudes of health visitors and parents to preventive dental health care for young children revealed that while the majority of parents agreed early dental visits were important, few had taken their child to the dentist before the age of one year. Where dental health is poor it is vital that the health visitor continues to give parents appropriate dietary advice and to recommend early visits to the dentist, writes Elaine Bentley.
