Unfortunately, some errors occurred in the original publication of the article.

The last sentence in the second paragraph of the “Results” section (p. 413) should read as “After adjustments, children with lower maternal schooling and lower income, those enrolled in public schools, those with DMFT = 0, those with dental fear, those living in more crowded households, and those initiating tooth-brushing in later ages were associated with the lack of use of dental service.”

The third sentence in the second paragraph of the “Discussion” section (p. 413) should read as “Our findings show that children from mothers with lower schooling use dental services 46 % less often than children from more educated mothers, and children from families with lower income use dental services 81 % less often than children from families with high income.”

Further, in Table 2, the entries of the last four columns have been assigned to wrong column heads. The corrected Table 2 is given in the following page.
