Socioeconomic and ethnic inequalities in oral health among children and adolescents living in England, Wales and Northern Ireland

Abstract: This study found some evidence of smaller ethnic and family socioeconomic differences in oral health among British adolescents compared to younger children. However, substantial differences in oral health by residential deprivation remain among adolescents. Community levels of deprivation may be particularly important for the health of adolescents.

“…In preschool children, socio-economic conditions of the family have been associated with caries development. Children having parents with low education, non-Western background or lacking parental guidance regarding oral health have been reported to have higher caries prevalence in primary teeth than other children [14][15][16][17][18], while few studies have evaluated associations between caries development from 5 to 12 years of age and family status [19]. To our knowledge, no studies have used enamel caries in primary teeth as predictor for caries development in permanent teeth.…”
