Özet:

 Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the application reasons and the age of the first dental visit of pediatric patients who applied to the Pamukkale University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology. Methods: A total of 968 pediatric patients aged 0-15 years, who applied to the our department between October 2022-March 2023, were included in the study. Demographic information, reasons for visiting the dentist, and data on the first visit to the dentist were obtained from the parents. Application reasons were divided into nine main groups dental pain, tooth caries, dental trauma, tooth extraction, discolorationstains, orthodontic treatments, pathologies, preventive treatments, routine control examination. Results: Out of 968 pediatric patients, 88 9.1 visited the dentist for the first time. Most of the pediatric patients who came to the first dentist visit were between the ages of 3-5 and the mean age was 6.013.27 years. The most common application reason was dental caries with 485 patients 50.1, followed by dental pain with 226 patients 23.3. There was no patient who applied for preventive treatments. The most common reason for the first dental visit was dental caries with 49 patients 55.7. Conclusıon: Although pediatric patients apply to the dentist for many reasons, it has been observed that the most common reason for application is dental caries. Additionally, most of the pediatric patients make their first dentist visit later than they should be.It is necessary that this age in children should be moved earlier and increase parental awareness. Keywords: Application; pediatric patient; first dental visit.

 Amaç: Pamukkale Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Ağız, Diş ve Çene Radyolojisi kliniğine başvuran çocuk hastaların başvuru sebeplerinin ve ilk kez diş hekimine başvuru yaşının araştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya Ekim 2022-Mart 2023 tarihleri arasında kliniğimize başvuran 0-15 yaş aralığındaki 968 çocuk hasta dahil edildi. Demografik bilgiler, diş hekimine başvuru sebepleri ve ilk diş hekimi ziyareti ile ilgili veriler ebeveynlerden öğrenildi. Başvuru sebepleri dokuz ana gruba dental ağrı, diş çürüğü, dental travma, diş çekimi, renk değişikliklerilekeler, ortodontik tedaviler, patolojiler, koruyucu tedaviler, rutin kontrol muayenesi ayrıldı. Bulgular: 968 çocuk hastadan 88i  9.1 ilk kez diş hekimi ziyaretine gelmişti. İlk diş hekimi ziyaretine gelen çocuk hastaların çoğu 3-5 yaş aralığında olup, ortalama yaş 6.01  3.27 idi. Kliniğimize en sık başvuru sebebi 485 kişi  50.1 ile diş çürüğü iken, bunu 226 kişi  23.3 ile dental ağrı takip etti. Koruyucu tedaviler için başvuran hastaya rastlanmadı. İlk diş hekimi ziyaretinin en sık sebebi ise 49 kişi  55.7 ile diş çürüğüydü. Sonuç: Çocuk hastalar diş hekimine pek çok nedenden dolayı başvursa da en sık başvuru nedeninin diş çürükleri olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca çocuk hastaların çoğu ilk diş hekimi ziyaretini olması gerekenden geç gerçekleştirmektedir. Çocuklarda bu yaşın daha erkene çekilmesi ve ebeveyn farkındalığının arttırılması gereklidir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Başvuru; çocuk hasta; ilk diş hekimi ziyareti.
