The Swedish out-of-home care children cohort (SweOHC) – evaluation of dental health and dental care
Not only do children in OHC have poorer oral health than other children, they also receive less support from the dental health services. It seems that society has failed in its mission to ensure that children in OHC are not disadvantaged with respect to health and access to comprehensive healthcare. Thus, there is an urgent need for reappraisal of guidelines, legislation, and organizational models for providing dental care to children and adolescents in OHC.
