Exposure to maternal symptoms of depression/anxiety has long-term negative consequences for child development, regardless of the contextual risk. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship of the symptomatology of persistent maternal depression and anxiety with child dental fear. This study was nested in a cohort of adolescent mothers in southern Brazil. Symptomatology of maternal depression and anxiety was assessed during pregnancy and postpartum, when the mothers' children were 24-36 months old, using Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory. The mothers answered a questionnaire to assess dental fear in their children, and to obtain socioeconomic and demographic data. Both mothers and their children were submitted to clinical oral examination (n= 540 dyads) to obtain oral health data. Multivariate hierarchical Poisson regression analysis was used to determine associations (p < 0.05). At data collection, the prevalence of maternal depressive symptoms was 39.1%, and anxiety was observed in 27.8% of the mothers, whereas 21.6% of the children presented dental fear. In the adjusted analysis, children's dental fear was positively associated with mothers' presenting depressive symptomatology and caries experience. The depression symptomatology trajectory was not associated with dental fear, whereas mothers with persistent symptoms of anxiety reported higher prevalence of dental fear toward their offspring. The findings of symptomatology of maternal depression observed at data collection and persistence of anxiety may negatively impact the child's perception of dental fear. Mothers are the main caregivers and primary models responsible for transmitting health-related behaviors; consequently, mental disorders affecting mothers may negatively impact their children.

“…Se encontró que haber tenido una experiencia traumática en la consulta odontológica es un factor de riesgo para la aparición de miedo dental y ansiedad en la consulta odontológica; una de las explicaciones más tradicionales para la adquisición de ansiedad y miedo dental se deriva del modelo de condicionamiento clásico, el cual explica que el miedo es adquirido tras una experiencia negativa o traumática 23 ; Locker, Shapiro y Liddell 24 reportan que la ansiedad dental se relaciona específicamente con un tratamiento invasivo o doloroso, evocando un deseo para evitar situaciones dentales posteriores.…”

“…Interest in such subject has been increasing during the last years. Epidemiological studies about dental pain have investigated not only the prevalence of the problem, but also its association with socioeconomic and demographic factors and impacts in the quality of life [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] . Most studies include scholars and teenagers as the study population, with only few of them considering younger children and pre-scholars at the deciduous dentition phase.…”

“…There is evidence that dental pain is frequent among preschoolers, even in populations with historically low levels of caries experience 2 , and pain produces an impact on the quality of life of children and their families 4,5 . In Brazil, studies with children younger than 5 years old have showed prevalence of 9.1% in Recife, 11.3% in Canoas, and 21% in Macapá 3,10,11 . Discrepancies among the Brazilian regions were also seen in a study using adolescents 12 .…”

ABSTRACT:Objective: To investigate the prevalence of dental pain and associated factors in 2-4-year-old children in Goiânia (GO). Methods: Cross-sectional study using home interviews with parents or guardians and anthropometric measures. The sample consisted of 385 children from 2 to 4 years old. The variables analyzed were: dental pain sometime in their lives, and demographic, socioeconomic and health-related factors (health condition, diet, nutritional status and behavior). Bivariate analysis and logistic regression were performed, based on a hierarchical model for risk assessment, considering the sample weights. Results: Dental pain prevalence was 9.9% (95%CI 7.4 -13.1). After adjustment for other variables, children whose mothers had low education level and those who regularly consumed artificial powder juice containing sugar were more likely to have dental pain (OR = 3.03 and 2.15, respectively). Conclusion: It was concluded that one in ten children had dental pain, and the prevalence was associated with low education level of the mother and the regular consumption of artificial powder juice.
