Factors Associated with Childhood Oral Health

Ten explanatory variables were included as ISDH: (1) educational programs of oral health (available or not), (2) school topical fluoride program (available or not), (3) healthy snacks kiosk (yes/no), (4) biological sex (boy/girl), (5) child age, (6) type of health insurance (public or private), (7) tooth brushing frequency (times a week), (8) gingivitis prevalence (inflammation and bleeding gums associated with plaque, yes/no), (9) ever having a dental visit (yes/no), (10) current use of a feeding bottle (yes/no), and (11) dietary intake. Dietary intake considered the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, candy, sugar-sweetened cookies or cakes, honey or jam (each categorized as several times per month, once a week, several times a week, once a day and several times a day).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
