Treating Children With Extensive Dental Needs

The goal of this qualitative study, using Grounded Theory, is to gain deeper knowledge about dentists' experiences from treating in particular young children with an extensive treatment need (mainly due to caries). The main question is to find out more about the dentists' reactions, feelings, perceived stress, and thoughts in general when meeting and treating young children with many carious lesions. The investigators also want to gain better understanding of how dentists think about reporting children who might be subject for maltreatment.
