Analysis on the current situation of deciduous dental caries in preschool children and its influencing factors
Objective To observe the occurrence of dental caries in preschool children and analyze the influencing factors that may lead to dental caries. Methods 200 preschool children from two kindergartens were randomly selected as the research subjects. All the preschool children in the group received oral health examination,and the general data of preschool children with and without dental caries were observed and compared,and the risk factors that might lead to dental caries in children were analyzed. Results Among the 200 preschool children,130 preschool children (65.00％) had dental caries,and they were included in the occurrence group,while the remaining 70 preschool children (35.00％) without dental caries were included in the non-occurrence group. The percentages of preschool children eating snacks before going to bed/after brushing teeth,drinking milk (yes),taking sweet drinks/sweets (≥3 times/week),long-term and regular oral health car (no) and guardian's knowing the harm of dental caries (unclear) in the occurrence group were 61.54％,57.69％,46.15％ and 69.23％,which were higher than 28.57％,28.57％,14.29％ and 14.29％ in the non-occurrence group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the occurrence group and the non-occurrence group in comparison of gender,age,infant feeding status,good brushing habit,mouth rinsing after meals,and the number of brushing (P>0.05). Logistics regression analysis was performed with the occurrence of dental caries in preschool children as the dependent variable (1=occurrence,0=non-occurrence),and the indicators with statistically significant differences in univariate analysis as the independent variables,and the results showed that eating snacks before going to bed/after brushing teeth,drinking milk (yes),frequency of sweet drinks/sweets intake (≥3 times/week),long-term and regular oral health care (no) and guardian's knowing the harm of dental caries (unclear) were the independent risk factors of dental caries in preschool children (OR>1,P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of dental caries in preschool children is generally high. Preschool children with high-risk dental caries who eating snacks before going to bed/after brushing their teeth,drink milk (yes),taking sweet drinks/sweets frequently (≥3 times/week),having long-term and regular oral health care (no) and guardian's knowing the harm of dental caries (unclear) should be alert to the occurrence of dental caries,and targeted interventions can be taken to reduce the risk of deciduous dental caries.
