Pediatric dental care use and parent- or caregiver-rated oral health among Alabama children enrolled in Medicaid.

CONCLUSIONS: It was observed that children not receiving dental care had low-rated oral health; however, as a cross-sectional study, it was not possible to assess the temporality of this relationship. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Oral health care providers should continue to recognize their role in educating parents and providing anticipatory guidance on children's oral health.
