title: Who provides what dental services for children? We need more information.
abstract: Pediatric dentists provided 19 percent of dental services for children between 2 and 4 years of age, and 9 percent for those between 5 and 11 years. Children also receive dental services from general practitioners and other specialists. The difficulty is that there is limited available information on the type and extent of services provided by general practitioners and specialists.
