Cost-Effectiveness of the Toddler Oral Health Intervention in Dutch Well-Baby Clinics: A Trial-Based Economic Evaluation
TOHI is a more costly, yet also more effective strategy for reducing ECC and improving quality of life within the Dutch well-baby clinic system. With a low upfront investment and ICER and a moderate-to-high probability of cost-effectiveness at the €20,000 per QALY threshold, TOHI seems to represent good value for money. Future research should assess long-term cost-effectiveness, broader healthcare impacts, and scalability across healthcare settings.
