The data used for this study were extracted from population-based databases which are linkable with midwives' data collected on all births in Western Australia.

Children were most frequently admitted under ICD-9 category 521, which includes a hospital admission for dental caries (39% of all oral cavity admissions), followed by ICD-9 category 528 (29%), which includes diseases of the oral soft tissues. Univariate analysis indicated that those with intellectual disability (OR 2.10, 95%CI 1.40-3.16), birth defect (1.74, 1.45-2.09), residing in a region without fluoridated water (2.15, 1.72-2.69) being male (1.14, 1.03-1.26), those ...Continue Reading
