“…This study found that in the late phase of mixed dentition, children age 9-12, reported less frequent toothache experience than the previous age period (12%). This result was lower than a study in South Brazil for children 8-12 years that reported toothache experience for 17.3% of the population 29 and a study for children age 9-12 years in Australia (27.4%) 12 . This number is also lower than a study in Taiwan where more than 30% of children experience dental pain during the past year 15 .…”

“…Understanding the sequences of toothache experience in a lifetime is crucial to prevent toothache in an appropriate period of life. The individual life-course approach to diseases is the critical period of development, which presumes that having experience of certain conditions in early life can have long term impacts on later health outcomes 12 . We may understand that people in certain periods of life experience a higher rate of toothache in their life.…”

“…Most of the studies in dental pain are cross-sectional 1,[13][14][15] . Few studies have focused on changes in toothache experiences at two or more points in time 12,[16][17][18] . Some studies examined the trend of toothache over the different periods of life and found socioeconomic conditions were related to toothache experience.…”

“…Another study in Brazil showed that the economically disadvantaged group had a higher prevalence of toothache in primary and mixed dentition 17 . Furthermore, a study in Australia found that lower-income family was related to more frequent toothache across the 14-years follow up 12 . Australian adults in the lowest socioeconomic group were found to have an increased prevalence of toothache from 1994-2013 16 .…”

Aim: To describe the pattern of toothache experience in a cohort of children aged 2-5 over 21 years and to find the relationship between previous toothache experience and later reports of toothache to get finding on the most critical period of toothache as a problem in life. Methods: This is a secondary data analysis from Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS). A total of 1,927 children from IFLS-1 with complete data were included as baseline participants. They were followed up four times within 21 years (age 6-9y, age 9-12y, age 16-19y, age 23- 26y). Toothache was based on the question of self-reported toothache experience during the last four weeks. After 21 years, a total of 1,098 individuals could be traced and completed every cohort of the survey. Toothache experiences were reported for frequencies in every cohort and accumulative experiences over 21 years. Logistic regression tests were performed to analyze the association of previous toothache experience and later toothache experience. Results: Almost 40% of the respondents reported toothache at least once in their life. The age of 6-9 years is the period when a high percentage of children had teeth-related pain. The experience of toothache at this period was significantly related to every period of age in life. Conclusions: The period of early mixed dentition is important. Oral health status in this period is associated with future oral health. A comprehensive dental health prevention program targeting this population is essential to increase the quality of life.

“…1,3,4 In Brazil, caries experience increases from 43.5% to 76.1% during adolescence, affecting 99% of Brazilians aged 35 to 44 years, 5 and dental caries is strongly associated with dental pain. Moreover, dental pain has been associated with loss of work productivity, school absenteeism, difficulty sleeping, refusal to eat certain foods, and greater use of healthcare services, 1,2,3,[6][7][8][9] which often Declaration of Interests: The authors certify that they have no commercial or associative interest that represents a conflict of interest in connection with the manuscript.…”

Acute pain among children is common, yet it may be underestimated and undertreated if the pain is not recognized. Assessing and managing pediatric pain can be complicated, and as such, measuring the prevalence of acute pain in children can be challenging. We sought to provide a consolidated review of the available data on the prevalence of commonly occurring acute pain in children in the self-care setting. An extensive literature search was performed to determine the prevalence of acute pain at multiple bodily locations in children aged between 3 months and 18 years. We considered the influence of age, sex, and sociodemographic factors on prevalence estimates. We also sought to identify some of the challenges involved in assessing and managing pediatric pain, thus shedding light on areas where there may be clinical and medical unmet needs. In general, a high prevalence of acute pain in children was detected, particularly headache, menstruation-related pain, and dental and back pain. Older age, female sex, and lower socioeconomic status were associated with increased pain prevalence. Risk factors were identified for all pain types and included psychological issues, stress, and unhealthy lifestyle habits. Owing to the heterogeneity in study populations, the prevalence estimates varied widely; there was also heterogeneity in the pain assessment tools utilized. The paucity of information regarding pain prevalence appears to be out of proportion with the burden of acute pain in children. This could indicate that clinicians may not be equipped with an optimal pain management strategy to guide their practice, especially regarding the use of developmentally appropriate pain assessment tools, without which prevalence data may not be captured. If acute pain is not accurately identified, it cannot be optimally treated.Further investigation is required to determine how the information from prevalence studies translates to the real-world setting.

Does early‐life family income influence later dental pain experience? A prospective 14‐year study

Abstract: Early-life relative poverty is associated with more frequent dental pain across the 14-year follow up and may be a key exposure variable for later dental conditions.
