Healthcare providers' perspectives on the Canadian Caries Risk Assessment Tool implementation in Indigenous pediatric primary care: a qualitative study
This study highlights that NDPCPs in Manitoba recognize the Canadian CRA tool as a valuable resource for improving access to early preventive dental care for First Nations and Métis children. The identified barriers provide critical insights for dental, medical, and allied healthcare providers, offering a foundation for developing strategies, guidelines, and policies to enhance preventive oral health services for Indigenous children in Manitoba.
