Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (Kap) Regarding Early Childhood Caries among Nurses Working in a Low Socio-Economic Area
Journal Title: Archives of Community Medicine and Public Health - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Early Childhood Caries (ECC) has been recognized by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry [1] as a “significant public health problem” and it still affects a large number of children worldwide [2,3]. Dye et al. [3], stated that dental caries is “the most common chronic disease of childhood in the United States”. Even though caries in itself is not life-threatening, the extent of this oral health problem is of major significance as it ultimately has an impact on general health and well-being and affects the quality of life. Untreated dental caries can lead to abscess formation and the resultant pain can influence the ability of children to function optimally in their day to day lives [4].
