Reaching more children with needed dental services.
If we are to reach more children with needed dental services, needed financial support is essential, as well as an appreciation of the attitudes and motivation of children and their parents and guardians regarding their dental health and needed services. As children's perceptions can be modified, efforts to provide these services can be enhanced.
