ABSTRACT

Dental caries is a multifactor local infectious process that can begin with tooth eruption, affects general health and quality of life. Associated factors for the development of childhood caries include dietary ones, like incorrect breastfeeding, use of baby bottle at night, pacifier’s habit, environmental factors, low educational level, absence of hygiene and not having regular dental checkups.
This study is a description of dental health’s state and possible risk factors associated to childhood caries in 7105 preschoolers from 12 states. The findings were that 60.6 percent of children of 3 years old didn’t have caries, this percentage decreasing to 36.9 in children at the age of 6. A DMFT index of 1.5 at the age of 3 duplicates at age of 6. With an acceptable oral hygiene. 42.92 percent of the children were exposed to night bottle feeding after 1 year of age. The data showed the primary dentition’s status related to dental caries in preschoolers, with the purpose of setting a base for the ADM’s National Preeschooler Oral Health Program to lead educational and preventive actions to decrease dental caries’ prevalence and incidence in Mexico.
