“…This is consistent with studies showing that family units are strongly influenced by the oral condition of children [36]. The signs and symptoms of tooth decay may cause a child, for example, to wake up at night due to tooth pain [37], thereby causing inadequate sleep for the parents. In addition, systemic manifestations can occur, leading to a financial burden on the family [20,38] and generate feelings of guilt for the children's oral condition [39].…”

The impact of dental caries on oral health‐related quality‐of‐life (OHRQoL) may be influenced by disease severity. This study evaluated the impact of caries severity on OHRQoL in preschool children. A school‐based, cross‐sectional study was conducted with 205 children (aged 2–5 years) in Southern Brazil. Parents answered the Brazilian version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B‐ECOHIS) and provided sociodemographic information. The Caries Assessment Spectrum and Treatment criteria were used to evaluate caries severity, and Poisson regression with robust variance estimation conducted to determine the rate ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the mean OHRQoL scores according to severity level. Most children had at least one tooth in the morbidity (37%) or pre‐morbidity (35%) stages, and the prevalence of impacts on OHRQoL was 40%. Caries severity was associated with the impact scores: after adjustments, the mean B‐ECOHIS scores were 6.31 (95% CI: 4.24–9.38) higher for children in the morbidity stage, and 10.84 (95% CI: 6.51–18.05) higher in the severe morbidity stage, than for healthy children [RR = 10.84 (95% CI: 6.51–18.05)]. Children with carious lesions into dentine or with pulpally‐involved or abscessed teeth had poorer OHRQoL than children without such lesions.

Introduction Almost half of the world’s children experience passive smoking, which is linked to numerous oral health conditions. The aim is to synthesise data on the impact of passive smoking on oral health of infants, preschoolers, and children. Methods A search was conducted across Medline (via EBSCOhost), PubMed, and Scopus up to February 2023. Risk of bias was assessed according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Results The initial search produced 1,221 records and after removal of duplicates, screening by title and abstract, and full text assessment, 25 studies were eligible for review and data extraction. The majority of studies (94.4%) found a correlation between passive smoking and increased prevalence of dental caries with three studies suggesting a dose-response relationship. Prenatal passive smoking exposure in 81.8% of studies indicated an increased dental caries experience compared to postnatal exposure. Low parental education, socioeconomic status, dietary habits, oral hygiene and gender affected the level of environmental tobacco smoke exposure and dental caries risk. Conclusions The results of this systematic review strongly suggest a significant association between dental caries in the deciduous dentition and passive smoking. Early intervention and education on the effects of passive smoking on infants and children will allow for the improvement in oral health outcomes and reduction in smoking-associated systemic conditions. The results justify all health professionals paying more attention to passive smoking when conducting paediatric patient histories, contributing to improved diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning with more suitable follow-up schedules. IMPLICATIONS The evidence from this review that environmental tobacco smoke and passive smoking is a risk factor for oral health conditions, both prenatally and postnatally during early childhood, justifies all health professionals paying more attention to passive smoking when conducting paediatric patient histories. Early intervention and appropriate parental education regarding the effects of second-hand smoke on infants and children will allow for the minimisation of dental caries, improvement in oral health outcomes and overall reduction in smoking-associated systemic conditions for the children exposed.

The prevalence of active smoking in Ukraine significantly exceeds the worldwide average, which is certainly a risk factor for children to be exposed to secondhand smoke. The article provides literature data and presents a modern view on the problem of secondhand tobacco smoke impact on the child population. In pediatric practice, the pathological impact of secondhand smoke on the child’s health is significant at the stage of its fetal development. Historical data convincingly prove the connection between the antenatal effect of secondhand smoke and the increased risk of perinatal losses and risks of pregnancy — miscarriage, stillbirth, and premature birth. As early as the 1960s and 1970s, scientific evidence was obtained for an association between the effects of tobacco smoke and the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. Children are most vulnerable to the negative effects of tobacco smoke at an early age because they have closer and longer contact with their parents, especially their mothers. Many studies have found an association between the effects of secondhand smoke and airway pathology (bronchitis, pneumonia), as well as an increase in the severity of respiratory syncytial viral infection (bronchiolitis). Numerous literature data indicate an association between the effect of passive smoking and the frequency and severity of oral cavity (dental caries) and middle ear (recurrent and chronic otitis, middle ear effusion) pathology. Many studies have shown the effects of secondhand smoke on the development and severity of bronchial asthma in children, but scientific data on the causal relationship of tobacco smoke with other allergic diseases (atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and food allergies), which are common in young children and preceded bronchial asthma in the "atopic march, are more limited and contradictory. The literature was searched using the PubMed database.
