“…For example, a report from Brazil showed impact on the oral health of 88.7% of schoolchildren ages 11 and 12, mainly experienced as chewing difficulties [46]. Furthermore, an association between eating problems and a negative impact on OHRQoL was detected in Spanish children ages 6 to 12 [47]. A rather innovative perspective was afforded by the GSEM analysis, which showed that tooth brushing was associated both directly with CPQ score, and also indirectly through caries and fluorosis.…”

“…A possible explanation for this is the greater presence of dentobacterial plaque caused by intake of fried, high carbohydrate foods between regular meals. This in turn can directly affect teeth and gums exposed for long periods [34]. In conjunction with poor oral health practices, this could explain the greater possibility of dental pain in this group of children.…”

Objective To identify dental pain prevalence and associated factors in Mexican schoolchildren. Methods This cross-sectional study included 1,404 schoolchildren aged 6 to 12 years from public schools in the city of Pachuca de Soto, Hidalgo, Mexico. Data were collected through a questionnaire that addressed sociodemographic and socioeconomic factors, eating and dental hygiene habits, and behavior variables. The dependent variable was self-reported dental pain in the 12 months prior to the survey. Data were analyzed using nonparametric statistics and a binary logistical regression model. Results Dental pain prevalence among the studied children was 49.9%. The variables associated in the final model (p < 0.05) were younger mother's age, higher socioeconomic level, absence of an automobile in the home, fried food, fruit intake, lower tooth brushing frequency, never having used mouthwash or not knowing about it, and parents/guardians with regular to high levels of knowledge about oral health and a regular or good/very good perception of their child's oral health. Conclusions One in two children in the study had experienced dental pain in the twelve months prior to the survey. The association of socioeconomic variables with dental pain suggested inequalities among the children in terms of oral health.

“…Despite the fact that dental caries can be asymptomatic, particularly at its initial stages, caries is associated with diminished quality of life for people affected and their families 128 . Among children, caries is associated with negative impacts on a range of daily life activities 129,130 and this was the case also among very young children where caries was associated with worse oral health related quality of life in terms of perceptions of both children and their parents 131 . Similarly, toothache and tooth decay are the conditions most commonly associated with worse oral health related quality of life on adults.…”

Dental caries is a biofilm-mediated, sugar-driven, multifactorial, dynamic disease that results in the phasic demineralization and remineralization of dental hard tissues. Caries can occur throughout life, both in primary and permanent dentitions, and can damage the tooth crown and, in later life, exposed root surfaces. The balance between pathological and protective factors influences the initiation and progression of caries. This interplay between factors underpins the classification of individuals and groups into caries risk categories, allowing an increasingly tailored approach to care. Dental caries is an unevenly distributed, preventable disease with considerable economic and quality-of-life burdens. The daily use of fluoride toothpaste is seen as the main reason for the overall decline of caries worldwide over recent decades. This Primer aims to provide a global overview of caries, acknowledging the historical era dominated by restoration of tooth decay by surgical means, but focuses on current, progressive and more holistic long-term, patient-centred, tooth-preserving preventive care.
