Summary:Screening for dental caries and risk for caries in young children prior to school entry could identify caries at an earlier and reversible stage, and lead to interventions to treat existing caries, prevent progression of caries, and reduce incidence of future lesions. Screening strategies typically include oral health risk assessment and visual examination to identify high-risk children, including those who already have caries. Primary care clinicians can play an important role in screening for dental caries.
