The effect of health and dental insurance on US children's dental care utilization for urgent and non-urgent dental problems - 2008.
We examined the association between utilization of care for a dental problem (utilization-DP) and parent-reported dental problem (DP) urgency among children with DP by type of health care insurance coverage. ⋯ Expansion of Medicaid/SCHIP may permit children to receive care for urgent DPs who otherwise may not, due to lack of dental insurance.
