Dental caries patterns and oral health behaviors in Arizona infants and toddlers

Abstract: Dental caries was a significant health issue for these children under 3 years of age, and factors other than bottle feeding may play an important role in its etiology. Prevention of dental caries in children under age three will depend on a better understanding of the etiology as well as improved access to care.

“…Not surprisingly, caries experience in the current study was greater among the older children, suggesting that caries activity continues in these 5‐ to 6‐year‐old children. This is consistent with other studies conducted in various countries [16,17], and reflects the cumulative nature of caries. The observed gender difference in caries severity was in line with the findings of Al‐Khateeb et al .…”

“…As we recorded caries on these surfaces separately not including the pits and fissures in the analysis, the tooth‐anatomy is not a major explanation for the differences we observed. This conclusion is supported by other authors 11,22 .…”

“…Although the use of a wide variety of methodologies makes cross-study comparisons difficult, it seems that nighttime feeding among our 1-to 3-year olds was more common than that reported for corresponding age-groups elsewhere (6,8,26,27).
