“…If the caries is in an advanced stage, an extractive treatment should be considered. The early loss of a deciduous element can cause an alteration of the growth mechanisms of the oro-maxillofacial complex in terms of incorrect occlusion and incorrect muscle pattern, with impaired swallowing and phonation [6], and can cause suffering in psychological relationships in the patient pediatric [7]. The literature shows that dental caries in deciduous teeth has increased in recent years, and that, in permanent teeth, it has decreased [8].…”

Background: The purpose of this study is to verify parents’ knowledge of child nutrition and their awareness of the interaction between unhealthy sugars in their child’s diet and caries formation. Methods: a questionnaire was proposed using Instagram to analyze type of breastfeeding; type of weaning and diet; home oral hygiene maneuvers; bad habits (use of pacifiers, bottles, and sugary substances); knowledge on the usefulness of fluoride; and first dental visit. A total of 200 parents from different regions of Italy with children aged 2 months to 6 years were contacted. Results showed that 66% parents preferred breastfeeding, while the remaining 34% chose artificial breastfeeding. Fifty percent (100 babies) started weaning at six months, 20% (40 babies) at the fifth month, 13.5% (27 babies) at the fourth month, and only 11.5% (23 babies) in a range from the seventh to ninth month of life. Oral hygiene practices were performed only by 25% of parents before eruption of the first tooth. After eruption of the first tooth, there is greater attention to home oral hygiene practices: 59% of parents carry out and teach their children daily home oral hygiene maneuvers. Conclusions: it is possible to raise awareness among parents and caregivers on the importance of food education.

“…This is associated with physical impacts in children, including malocclusion, delayed or accelerated eruption of permanent teeth (Bezerra & Nogueira, 2012) and phonetic and masticatory impairment (Nóbrega, Barbosa & Brum, 2018). Furthermore, psychosocial impacts result from conditions that affect aesthetics and impair social interaction (Bitencourt, Rodrigues & Toassi, 2021;Nadelman et al, 2020). It may also indirectly impact the family that cares for these children, causing the loss of working days and expenses resulting from dental consultations and treatments (Dainezi et al, 2015;Carlos & Martins, 2017).…”

Background: Children with untreated dental caries tend to have a higher prevalence of early tooth loss, causing physical, psychosocial, and financial impacts on children and their families. The present study aims to understand the therapeutic itineraries of children with the early loss of primary teeth due to caries by analyzing the access to and integrality of care. Methods: This was a qualitative phenomenological study. Participants were caregivers, aged 18 years or older, of children up to 12 years of age who attended the University Dental Clinic of a Public University in Southern Brazil. Analysis of medical records and interviews were performed. The saturation criterion defined the sample size (n=44). Results: Public and private health services were accessed by families in the search for treatments for children's oral health conditions until they reached the University Dental Clinic. Children experiencing suffering and pain, who had had multiple extractions, and families affected financially and emotionally by the oral health condition of their children highlighted these itineraries. The resilience of these families in overcoming the challenges experienced and their continuous efforts to find solutions for the oral health care of their children were emphasized. Their relations with students and teachers at the University Dental Clinic were also discussed. Conclusion: The study showed a range of paths taken by children and their families and suggested weaknesses in ensuring the integrality of care for children in the Brazilian National Health System. Qualitative analysis of the therapeutic itineraries of children’s families presented in this study is proposed as a complementary tool for health care. This study has the potential to contribute to the evaluation of health services in the country, strengthening children's oral health.

“…By the time they reach 6 years of age, and their primary dentition is complete, the reported worldwide prevalence of dental caries is 48% (1), making it the 10th most common condition in the world (2). This preventable, biofilm-mediated, lifestyle-driven disease harms children's health and wellbeing (3), impacting negatively on their quality of life, resulting in pain, early tooth loss along with impaired function, growth, esthetics (4,5) and loss of time at school (6).…”

Esta obra está dedicada a las fuertes y extraordinarias mujeres de mi vida, especialmente a mi madre Jacqueline y a mi abuelita Gladys (in memoriam). Su amor infinito, su fe inagotable, sus oraciones incesantes y su trabajo duro representan el pilar de todo lo que soy y son mi principal apoyo en la vida. Gracias por enseñarme que soy capaz de todo y por inspirarme a evolucionar y florecer. This work is dedicated to the strong and extraordinary women in my life, especially my mother Jacqueline and my grandmother Gladys (in memoriam). Their infinite love, unending faith, unceasing prayers and hard work represent the pillar of all that I am and are my main support in life. Thank you for teaching me that I am capable of anything and for inspiring me to evolve and flourish. 1604 days ago I left my home. Grabbed my suitcases where I had packed everything I owned, said goodbye to my family and my country, and hopped on a plane.Together with my Julieta, I moved to an unknown place, my birthplace, to begin a challenging adventure that I had been longing for as long as I can remember. And today, with a heart full of emotion, pride and satisfaction, I culminate this dream that has given me infinite lessons, a bit of knowledge, and an unceasing thirst for selfimprovement.First of all, I thank God and the universe for allowing me to live this life-changing experience. Through his wisdom and infinite kindness, he managed to align everything in a perfect way so that I could become a Dentist, with some experience in advertising, gastronomy, medicine and psychology. Nothing happens by chance. To this day, everything has unfolded the way it was meant to be, and without a doubt, that's the only way I could be the person I am today. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to know myself, to accept myself, to overcome myself, to deconstruct and reassemble myself.To my mother, Jacqueline, for never doubting me. Thank you for your support, effort and courage, for your example, your tenacity, your determination and love. You are the pillar that made and makes everything possible in my life. Thanks to you I know that, when one believes, everything is possible. To my father, Edisson, for planting that seed in me about the magic of teaching and research, for teaching me how important excellence is and for pushing me to improve and surpass myself every day.Experiencing your passion and commitment to your work has marked the path that I am proud to share with you. Thank you both for respecting my process and allowing me to walk at my own pace.To my brother, Paulo, my Loli, you are the best friend and the best companion that God could have given me to walk on earth. You are my source of admiration and inspiration. To my brother, Xavier, for teaching me that there are different points of view and different ways of living life. Thank you for your love, respect and unconditional support.To Sergio, thank you for walking with me and being my support, my partner, for brightening my days and wrapping me with your love. With you by my side this beaut...
