“…8 The oral health of young children is primarily overseen by their mothers; further, 97% of preschoolers live in households where their mother present. 3,[9][10][11][12][13][14] A positive maternal attitude is related to a lower incidence of caries in the child, better child oral hygiene, and more dental treatment received by the child. 15 Since a large proportion of a child's early life may be spent with the mother, children may learn routines and habits involving diet and oral hygiene from their mothers.…”

Objectives.-Mothers play a primary role in the health of their children. This role may be of particular importance for children in Appalachia who have increased caries relative to children in other regions of the United States. We examined the degree to which child dental caries experience was in concordance with mother's perception of the health of her child's teeth, and how concordance varied by sociodemographic factors. Methods.-We obtained cross-sectional data on mother-child dyads with children under six years-old through the Center for Oral Health Research in Appalachia study. A community-based sample of 815 mother-child dyads were interviewed and clinically examined in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. We estimated the association between mother's perception of her child's oral health status and her child's dental caries experience using an unadjusted zero-inflated negative binomial

“…7 Few studies have analysed inequalities in the use of dental services in middle-and low-income countries. 8 In Latin America, most studies have been concentrated in Brazil, [9][10][11] Chile, 12,13 Argentina 14 and Mexico. 15,16 The Peruvian health system has a complex organization consisting of a fragmented public system and a private sector containing both for-profit and not-for-profit institutions.…”

The presence of inequalities in oral health has been reported in the literature. 1,2 Inequalities tend to follow a social gradient, where people from lower socioeconomic position (SEP) experience increasingly worse oral health than those in a higher SEP. 2 The evidence indicates that inequalities in oral health occur from birth and persist throughout the life course, increasing the differences in oral conditions among individuals. 3 Oral conditions are recognized to influence the quality of life of both the individual and their family, as

“…Prison caregivers had poor knowledge and attitude of dental health matters (25). It was observed that disparities by maternal education reinforce investments in education (26). Mothers need to be educated and encouraged that they are a key factor in improving the oral health habits of their children (27).…”
