Analysis of factors influencing delayed treatment seeking for dental caries in preschool children: a cross-sectional study
Efforts to reduce delayed treatment should prioritise addressing children's dental fear and improving parental oral health literacy. Targeted and effective strategies in these areas may facilitate early prevention, diagnosis, and intervention, thereby minimising treatment delays, reducing disease burden, and promoting oral health among preschoolers.
