Abstract
Background/Purpose
To assess how the current COVID-19 epidemic influenced peoples' utilization of emergency dental services in Beijing, China.
Methods
The first-visit patients seeking emergency dental services before or at the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic were retrieved. Their demographic characteristics and the reasons for visiting were recorded and analyzed.
Results
There were 2,537 patients involved in this study. Thirty-eight percent fewer patients visited the dental urgency at the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic than before. The distribution of dental problems has changed significantly. The proportion of dental and oral infection raised from 51.0% of pre-COVID-19 to 71.9% during COVID-19, and dental trauma decreased from 14.2% to 10.5%. Meanwhile, the non-urgency cases reduced to three-tenths of pre-COVID-19.
Conclusion
Within the limitation of this study, the COVID-19 epidemic had a strong influence on the utilization of emergency dental services.
