Abstract

This study investigated what are the main reasons that led parents to enroll children in a clinic for

infants. This was studied by consulting 1368 records during the period from July 1996 to August 2001.

The predominant reason for enrolling was orientation/prevention followed by “other” and treatment.

This study demonstrated that a program for children from the first year of life encourages parents to

have a new vision of dentistry.
