title: [Use of a dental health education center].
abstract: In the year 1986 1910 persons made use of the services of a dental health education center in Amsterdam. One day a week a dentist could be consulted. The rest of the week other members of the team were available for answering questions. Almost 30% of the questions concerned dental treatment, diagnosis of treatment plan, 20% dental fees and other financial aspects of treatment and questions for folders, posters et cetera accounted for another 20%. Only 5% of the questions referred to preventive matters. A quarter of the dentist's interventions consisted of giving a second opinion. More women than men, and more privately insured than sick fund insured contacted the center.
