We aimed to determine factors associated with parents' use of dental services for their children in Lebanon, and their perception of dental care relative to medical care. A convenience sample of public and private schools in Beirut was selected between January and May 2013. Parents of children in grades 2-6 (aged 7-12 years) were invited to complete a questionnaire covering socioeconomic characteristics and use of dental services. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between use of dental services, and parents' socioeconomic characteristics and awareness and perceptions of dental services. The parents of 316 children returned the questionnaire. Most children (72.8%) had been taken to the dentist in the past year, mainly for emergency care. Most parents (78.2%) considered dental care as important as or more important than medical care, and 89.9% were willing to contribute to dental insurance. Use of dental services was significantly associated with older age of the parent (odds ratio, OR = 1.04; 95% confidence interval, CI 1.02-1.06); awareness of dental care centres offering affordable treatment (OR = 3.18; 95% CI 1.52-6.68); and children being in private schools (OR = 2.00, 95% CI 1.08-3.95). It was negatively associated with > 4 children in the family compared with 1 child (OR = 0.18; 95% CI 0.04-0.81). Barriers to dental care for children were mostly related to economic factors.
