Abstract
Objective: Our aim in this study is to understand which treatment needs and conditions are effective in children's application to the dentist. Materials and Method: Parents of 435 children who applied to Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Pediatric Dentistry between June and December 2021 and agreed to participate in the study were included. A questionnaire consisting of 6 questions was applied to the parents, including their and their children's age and gender information, what their child's need for treatment is, and whether they prefer to use medication instead of coming to the dentist because of the Covid-19 period. The obtained data were analyzed in IBM SPSS Statistics 25 program. Results: 51% of the children participating in the study were girls and 49% were boys. The most frequent reason for referral to the dentist was the need for restorative dental treatment (filling treatment) with 72%, while the least reason for referral was routine control with 3%. It was observed that 33.2% of pediatric patients in need of restorative dental treatment needed root canal treatment. 60% of the parents go to the dentist as soon as possible when their child has a toothache, 11.7% prefer to use painkillers or antibiotics instead of going to the dentist, 13.1% try to control the pain by using medication first, however, they reported that they applied to the dentist when it was not enough. Conclusion: The most effective factor in the application of pediatric patients to the dentist is the treatment needs that cause toothache. Raising awareness of parents about the importance of routine dental check-ups will have an impact on the protection of children's oral and dental health.
