title: Mexican-American parents with children at risk for baby bottle tooth decay: pilot study at a migrant farmworkers clinic.
abstract: Treatment of severe BBTD in very young children often requires the use of general anesthetic. In 1987, the cost was estimated at $700-$1,000; add another $1,000, if hospitalization is needed. Informal surveys of dentists across the country indicate that in 1991-1992, the cost of treatment has increased substantially.
