Bedtime Oral Hygiene Behaviours, Dietary Habits and Children’s Dental Health

Abstract: Background: Oral hygiene behaviours as well as dietary habits before bed can affect children’s dental health resulting in higher prevalence of dental disease. Dental disease can affect children’s health, development and even school performance. If left untreated, dental disease can progress and it can lead to extractions under general anaesthetic causing further distress for children and families. Consistent and appropriate oral hygiene behaviours and dietary habits can prevent dental diseases from occurring i… Show more

“…Our study results indicate that IA is a barrier to maintaining good oral hygiene. Poor oral hygiene accelerates dental plaque accumulation and bacterial activity in dental plaque 11 13 , which results in dental caries development and progression. Overall, one potential reason for the higher prevalence of dental caries among the study participants who suffered from IA was the loss of dental plaque control, which was associated with unhealthy lifestyle behavior.…”

“…First, the ULBI used in this study did not include all possible lifestyle factors. Although each factor has been studied in terms of its association with dental caries and/or IA 5 , 6 , 12 , 13 , 21 , other factors, such as tooth brushing duration and smoking 5 , are also possibly associated with disease risk. Second, the IAT and ULBI were based on self-reports and therefore were subject to recall bias and misclassification.…”

“…27,28 In our study male children were more than female (70% versus 30%) which is consistent with the study of Al-Hussyeen and Al-Sadhan, Okemwa et al and Kitsaras et al where 61.7%, 55.1% and 56.8%, respectively were male while in a study done by Dogan et al half of the students were male. 20,[27][28][29] In a study done by Jürgensen et al 52.8% children were females. 30 Most families in our study had 2 children (52%) and 20% had only 1 child.…”

“…This is in contrast with results of Kitsaras et al where most of the families had only 1 child (65%). 29 As we all are aware that brushing eliminates bacterial plaque and therefore contributes to preventing decay, gingivitis and periodontitis. It is therefore important for children to know the association between tooth brushing and dental diseases.…”

“…People who struggle with teeth may choose to brush their teeth gently or opt for toothpaste specifically designed for sensitive teeth. 17,18 These adjustments, in behavior are aimed at minimizing the impact of triggers on their condition. Dentin hypersensitivity is characterized by signs and symptoms such as temporary pain caused by external factors like temperature changes, sweet or acidic substances and mechanical stimuli.…”
