Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of dental decay in 5-year children, enrolled in  schools, with (DC) and without dental care (NDC). Methods: DMFT index was used to assess caries. Family status were collected from parents. Results: Mean DMFT was 1.64 (57.3% free of caries). Less decayed teeth and more restored teeth were observed in DC (p <0.05). DC children have more access to dental services, although most parents had difficulty in taking them to a public service. Family incomes of up to 3 minimum wages have lower information about dental caries. Conclusions: DC did not influence the prevalence of tooth decay in children, but it significantly reduced dental treatment needs.
