Abstract(s)
Objetivos: Este estudo pretende avaliar os motivos pelas quais as crianças, hoje em dia, procuram o odontopediatra pela primeira vez. E por outro lado, permitir saber se a informação que existe disponível é suficiente para que os pais entendam o quão importante é a ida ao consultório dentário numa idade precoce.
Métodos: A amostra deste estudo foi constituída por 30 responsáveis de crianças, que procuraram a consulta de odontopediatria numa clínica de medicina dentária, no distrito do Porto. Foi utilizado um questionário com 10 perguntas e esses dados foram inseridos e analisados no programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).
Resultados: A idade da primeira consulta de medicina dentária teve uma maior percentagem entre os 4 e os 6 anos de idade e apenas 3,3% realizaram a consulta até completarem 1 ano de idade. O principal motivo foi prevenção num total de 46,7% seguindo-se o motivo de doença cárie dentária com 23,3%, rotina (10,0%), com percentagens equivalentes (6,7%) traumatismo e alterações dentárias, dor e outros motivos (3,3%) e por fim situações de urgência (0%). Durante a gravidez, cerca de metade da população não tinha recebido qualquer tipo de informação.
Conclusões: Foi possível verificar que o principal motivo foi prevenção. Contudo as informações disponíveis ainda não são suficientes e conclui-se que há ainda um longo caminho a percorrer nesta área.
