An Assessment of Pediatric Dental Caries and Family Quality of Life in an Informal Amazonian Community.

Children and their caregivers living in the Community of Claverito exhibited high levels of dental caries. Children's untreated dental caries were associated with both family's quality of life and caregivers' untreated dental caries. Further research is needed on how improving availability and access to oral health services have the potential to benefit the health of residents of informal communities like the one of Claverito.
