“…The limited evidence indicates that positive parenting approaches work best to produce favourable oral hygiene behaviours in children, and lead to better oral health outcomes [5,36,37]. Previous research has also established that poor family functioning leads to poor oral health outcomes in children [38].…”

Background: Family characteristics and parenting practices could significantly influence child oral health and the impact of child oral health on family wellbeing. Aim: To determine the association between parenting practices and parent-perceived impact of children’s oral health condition on family wellbeing. Design: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1539 school children in India. Parents answered the short form of FIS (Family Impact Scale), and PCRQ (parent–child relationship questionnaire) to assess the impact of the child’s oral health on family and parenting practices, respectively. Two factors emerged on factor analysis of PCRQ: ‘Positive parenting’ and ‘Power assertive parenting’. The intra-oral examination was conducted for children to assess their dental caries experience and gingival health status. Unadjusted linear regression and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were used to determine the influence of parenting practices on FIS. Results: An increase in power assertion (B = 1.16) parenting was associated with increased FIS scores indicating a higher adverse impact of the child’s oral health on family wellbeing when parents used more power assertive parenting practices. On the other hand, an increase in positive parenting (B = −1.27) was associated with decreased FIS scores, indicating a lesser impact of child’s oral health on family wellbeing when parents used more positive parenting practices. Conclusions: Parenting practices were associated with parents’ perceptions of the effect of children’s oral health on family wellbeing.

“…Results from previous studies [ 3 , 26 ] show that children of authoritative parents have a lower caries rate compared to permissive and authoritarian parents, indicating that parental behavior may have an influence on the development of children’s oral habits. Although some studies have shown that the permissive parenting style depicted a threefold increase in caries status when compared to the authoritative parenting style [ 24 ], there are also studies that found no association between parental style and caries rate [ 27 ].…”

The type of parenting style influences the way children cope with problems and can create states of anxiety that can even alter their eating habits, which can cause problems in their oral health. The present study aimed to find out which parenting style is more favorable for the oral health of their children. In this cross-sectional study, 186 children (aged 8–15 years) were examined to assess the mean Decayed/Missing/Filled teeth (DMFT + dmft) index, and they were asked to complete the State–Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Parenting Style Scale, and questions about their oral hygiene habits. On the other hand, their parents answered the Parental Feeding Style Questionnaire and the Children’s Eating Behavior Questionnaire. Results showed that a worse oral health status was associated with a higher state of anxiety, more overeating, more emotional eating, and higher psychological control. A higher rate of missing teeth was associated with increased undereating and overeating. Emotional eating was positively related to psychological control. State of anxiety, overeating, and parental psychological control predicted 24.6% of DMFT + dmft. In addition, emotional eating had a moderating effect in DMFT + dfmt only in those with low levels of affection and communication. In conclusion, high psychological control and low levels of parental affection and communication will increase the state of anxiety in children, influencing their caries rate.

“…Permissive parents were less likely to ensure bedtime toothbrushing compared to authoritative parents. 23 In the present study, the behavioral screening questionnaire-strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) was used and 71.43% of children belonged to the normal category (Table 5). A major proportion of the total difficulties were associated with the permissive parenting style and less in children with authoritative parents.…”

Background: Parents are the most important source of information regarding their child’s oral health and emotional and behavioral problems. Thus, child-rearing practices may influence various aspects of children’s life. Furthermore, the association of parenting styles with the psychological attributes, oral health status, and behavior of children and adolescents has been studied less in an Indian dental setup.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 182 healthy children of 4-14 years accompanied by their parents in east Lucknow. The oral health status of the children was assessed via a self-designed questionnaire as caries status and oral health-related behavior. During the procedure, the children’s behavior was recorded via Frankl’s behavior rating scale. Parenting style and dimension questionnaire (PSDQ) and strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) were completed by the parents to assess their parenting style and the emotional status of the children, respectively.Results: A statistically significant association was found between parenting styles and caries status (p<0.01). Significant correlations were noted between parenting styles and oral health-related behavior in terms of sweet beverage consumption (p=0.022) and snacking habits (p=0.036). Significant differences were observed in child’s behavior according to parenting styles and between parenting styles and total difficulties (p<0.01).Conclusions: Children of authoritative parents had less caries, better oral health-related behavior, less internalizing and externalizing problems, and more cooperative behavior in the dental operatory compared to other parenting styles.
