Table 4.

Associations of having no parent/caregiver-reported dental care in prior 6 months with the outcomes of inability to rate dental health, low-rated teeth and gums, low-rated overall health, and low-rated emotional health.

Outcome	Prevalence Ratio of No Dental Care (95% CI)	Adjusted Prevalence Ratio of No Dental Care (95% CI)
Unable to rate dental health (vs giving any rating)	2.54 (1.34 to 3.73)	1.55 (0.51 to 2.59)
Low-rated teeth and gums (vs high rating)	1.36 (1.05 to 1.66)	1.50 (1.12 to 1.87)
Low-rated overall health (vs high rating)	1.09 (0.79 to 1.38)	1.18 (0.83 to 1.52)
Low-rated emotional health (vs high rating)	0.92 (0.72 to 1.12)	1.06 (0.79 to 1.33)

Prevalence ratios derived from logistic regression estimation accounting for survey design, followed by generalized linear model postestimation of least squares means. Adjusted prevalence ratio controls for sex, age, race/ethnicity, parent education, having a primary care provider.
