“…It is worth noting that adherence to the Mediterranean diet, included in all multivariate analyses, was shown to be a protective factor in three of the four oral health indicators (DMFT, DMFS, and DMFM). Our results are consistent with the findings of Caleza-Jimenez et al and Mota-Veloso et al [8,9], reinforcing the evidence of a significant association between ADHD and oral health indicators in children. This concurrence underscores the broader relevance of our findings within the Spanish context and suggests common underlying factors across different regions.…”

“…Fisher-Owens et al [2] showed in their study the relationship between ADHD and a high incidence of dental caries and periodontal diseases in children. This relationship can be attributed to various factors, including neglect of oral hygiene, less effective tooth brushing [3][4][5], and a higher propensity for consuming sugars and carbohydrates [6,7] Moreover, recent studies conducted in Spain, such as those by Caleza-Jimenez et al and Mota-Veloso et al [8,9], have provided a valuable comparative context that enriches our understanding of the interaction between ADHD and oral health. These insights lay the groundwork for a regional comparison that highlights the necessity of contextualized research within diverse Spanish populations.…”

A study in Gran Canaria assessed the oral health of 53 children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and 106 without ADHD, aged 6 to 16 years. Clinical data on dental caries, conservative treatments, and periodontal health were recorded. The main objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of dental caries in children with ADHD and how their habits and behaviors contribute to their oral health status. The results showed that children with ADHD had a significant increase in dental caries, conservative treatments, and gingival bleeding. A connection with diet was found, though it did not have a negative impact. No increase in periodontal index was observed, and no significant relationship with diet, family factors, or breastfeeding was found. The evidence suggests that children with ADHD should undergo frequent dental check-ups to monitor oral health and receive education on the importance of the quality and frequency of tooth brushing. These findings highlight the need to address oral health in children with ADHD and the necessity for adequate dental care in this group.

“…At least 2 cross‐sectional studies (targeting 178 and 198 medical students and one case‐control study targeting 404 children aged 4‐6 years old) have investigated the association of self‐control with dental caries. All 3 reported no association between self‐control and dental caries after adjusting for confounders, possibly due to their small sample sizes.…”

“…In fact, at least 3 previous studies have examined the association between self‐control and dental caries. However, none of them has reported a significant association, possibly due to a nonrepresentative sample . Research using representative samples would be needed on this topic.…”

“…For example, parents that regard their children as ‘difficult’ might try to calm them down by giving them sweet snacks or drinks [ 10 ]. In addition, children with more impulsive personalities could be more likely to consume more sugars [ 11 ]. However, most research on the risk factors of ECC have focused on the biological characteristics of the child and their eating behaviours, whereas children’s psychological characteristics are comparatively underexplored.…”

Early childhood caries (ECC) is a worldwide public health problem. The biological and behavioural determinants that are directly involved in ECC have been well documented; however, evidence on the effects of some psychosocial factors remains conflicting. This study aimed to assess the association between child temperament and ECC in Chilean preschoolers. Prior approval of the protocol was obtained from the ethics committee of Universidad de La Frontera (Folio N° 020_17), and all of those involved in the study provided signed informed consent forms. The cross-sectional study was conducted with 172 children aged 3 to 5 years attending preschools in Temuco, Chile. Each child’s temperament was assessed based on parents’ responses to the Early Childhood Behaviour Questionnaire. The outcomes assessed were caries prevalence and caries experience (dmft scores). The covariates included were socioeconomic position, cariogenic diet, prolonged breastfeeding, presence of dental plaque and hypoplasia. Logistic regression models were used to predict caries prevalence and negative binomial regression for caries experience. The prevalence of ECC was 29.1%, and the most frequent child temperament was ‘effortful control’. Regression model analyses, adjusting for covariates, showed no evidence of an association between any domain of children’s temperament (surgency, negative affect and effortful control) with the prevalence of caries or caries experience. This cross-sectional study found no association between childhood temperament and ECC in preschool children for this population. However, due to the specificity of this population, the association cannot be entirely ruled out. Further studies are needed to help understand the association between temperament and oral health, including the influences of family environment factors and culture.
