Résumé
This qualitative study aimed to assess people with congenital bleeding disorders (CBDs) perspectives on why their dentists refused to treat them. Using validated and reliable questions, people with CBDs were asked about their attitude toward dental visit and teeth brushing, perceived thought about dentists' knowledge and skill in treating them, perceived dental anxiety, and perceived barriers toward receiving dental services. Free text responses were added to report reasons of why people with CBDs could not brush their teeth sometimes and why the dentists refused to treat them. An open card sorting method was used to analyze participants free text reports. A total of 30 participants were recruited for the purpose of this qualitative study (70% adults and 30% children). Hemophilia A affected the majority of both groups. The majority of participants (n = 20, 67%) reported that they have been refused to be treated by their dentists (71% of adults versus 56% of children, as reported by their parents, p-value = 0.398). Adult participants reported that they have been refused to be treated by dentists due to fear of dentists from uncontrolled gingival bleeding, their dentists' beliefs that no dental treatment required for them, their thoughts that their dentists will refuse to treat them and difficulty of accommodating the dental visit with other medical appointments. Parents of children reported other reasons such as parents did not ask for dental treatments, difficulty of dental treatment to dentists, young age of patient, and poor accessibility to dental services due to long waiting list. Fear of adult participants from uncontrolled gingival bleeding (n = 4, 57%) and poor compliance of children toward teeth brushing (n = 2, 29%) were the reasons behind why they could not brush their teeth sometimes. Among several reported reasons, fear of dentists from uncontrolled gingival bleeding was the most reported reason of why dentists refused to treat adults with CBDs. While other reasons were reported by parents of children with CBDs such as parents did not ask for dental treatment to their children, difficulty of dental treatment to dentists, young age of patients, and poor accessibility due to long waiting list.
