OBJECTIVES: Medical-dental integration promotes early intervention in oral diseases, reduces barriers to care, and optimizes dental home establishment for children. This study aims to explore how child-level [gender, age, number of preventative dental visits (PDVs), and comorbidities] and parent-level [employment, family size, comorbidities, and number of PDVs] characteristics affect dental service claims.
METHODS: Merative administrative claims data were analyzed for children aged 0-6 years who had a well-child visit, at least one dental visit between 2019 and 2021, and were covered under private insurance plans (N = 198,433). Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were used to predict dental claims, with child- and parent-level factors as predictors.
RESULTS: At the child level, there were higher odds of claims for male children compared with female children for the treatment of dental pain, anesthesia, and emergencies. With increased age, the odds of having a claim for the treatment of dental pain, dental extractions, anesthesia, and emergencies increased. At the parent level, salaried employment (compared with hourly employment) resulted in lower odds of child claims for the treatment of pain extraction, anesthesia, and emergencies.
CONCLUSION: PDV for children and parental employment decreased the odds of dental service claims, indicating that PDV is valuable for reducing oral health burden.
