Abstract
BACKGROUND : The children aged 9-11 years begin to care about their bodies and begin to feel independent. At this age the children begin to want making their own choices. Health seeking behavior, especially dental problems should begin to be considered because it will impact on their future. OBJECTIVES : The purpose of this study is to know the health seeking behavior in children aged 9-11 years while they have toothache. MATERIALS & METHODS : This is a cross sectional study. A total of 454 children aged 9-11 years in District of Sukajadi, Bandung City were interviewed about how often they felt toothache in the last one year and how often they went to the dentist in the last one year. Interviews were conducted on 226 boys and 228 girls. RESULTS : Based on the interviews, 15 children (3.3%) who had frequent toothache and 80 children (17.6%) who rarely felt toothache, never or did not go to the dentist in the last one year, while 12 (2.6%) children who have no toothache, go to the dentist more than two times a year.
