This thesis describes the oral health of New South Wales (NSW) children aged 5-12 years by socioeconomic (SES) characteristics utilising the individual-, school- and area-level socioeconomic indicators. It also quantifies the usefulness of SES indicators for targeting of dental services. Methods: A cross-sectional study of NSW 5-12 year-olds was conducted in 2007 using a multi-stage, stratified, cluster sample approach. Explanatory SES variables were explored at three levels: individual, school and area. Caries prevalence, caries severity and significant caries were calculated. Bivariate analysis was undertaken. Prevalence ratios (PR) of caries prevalence and SiC10 were modelled by Poisson regression (PROC LOGLINK, SUDAAN 10.0). Rate ratios (RR) of caries severity were modelled using Poisson regression (PROC GENMOD, SAS 9.2). Multi-level analysis (SAS PROC GLIMMIX) was undertaken accounting for the nested structure. Use of SES variables to target dental services was examined using number of cases, relative risk and population attributable fraction (PAF%). Results: Just under 40% of NSW children had a prevalence of deciduous caries with mean dmfs of 3.18 surfaces and just over 22% had experienced permanent caries with mean DMFS of 0.61 surfaces. Variation in oral health by SES indicators: There was significant variation in caries prevalence, caries severity and SiC10 by socioeconomic characteristics; children from the lowest SES category had significantly higher caries prevalence and severity compared to the highest SES category for all SES indicators in both the deciduous and permanent dentition. Membership of the SiC10 group showed lower SES groups had a higher proportion of children who formed part of the SiC10 group. Associations across individual, school and area-level SES indicators: In the final models, income was significant for all three caries measures for both dentitions. The children from the lowest income category had significantly higher odds of caries, more severe caries and membership of the SiC10 group. School type as an explanatory factor was not significant for caries prevalence and SiC10 in the multi-level model, although the children attending a disadvantaged public school had significantly higher odds of permanent caries severity. Effectiveness of targeting by SES indicators: In both the deciduous and permanent dentition there were fewer cases of caries and SiC10 cases in the designated SES target group, the lowest SES group, than outside the designated target group. SES demonstrated a low population attributable fraction for deciduous and permanent caries prevalence, caries severity and significant caries. Conclusions: The study demonstrated that caries was higher among lower SES groups whether measured by individual, school or area characteristics. In many instances there were three and five-fold differences among those in the lowest SES categories providing a consistent association with poor oral health. Income was independently associated with variation in child oral health when adjusting for the nested structure. Low SES categories did not identify the majority of those with caries or the highest levels of caries and would therefore be limited as a basis for a targeted oral health strategy and a population health focus that uses a social determinants approach would be more appropriate.

Dental caries has been called a “silent epidemic” and is the most prevalent chronic disease affecting children. Though much has been written on the science and practice of managing this disease, publications are diverse in their loci, preventing easy access to the reader. Early Childhood Oral Health coalesces all the important information related to this topic in a comprehensive reference for students, academics, and practitioners. This second edition expands the scope of the first and puts an additional focus on interprofessional and global efforts that are necessary to manage the growing disease crisis and screening and risk assessment efforts that have expanded with the boom of new technologies. With updated references and incorporating the latest research, chapters address the biology and epidemiology of caries, the clinical management of early childhood caries, risk assessment, and early diagnosis. Other topics include public health approaches to managing caries worldwide, implementation of new caries prevention programs, fluoride regimens, and community programs, and family oral health education. Brand new are four chapters on the medical management of early childhood caries, considerations for children with special needs, interprofessional education and practice, and how the newest policy issues and the Affordable Care Act affect dental care. A must-read for pediatric dentists, cariologists, public health dentists, and students in these fields, Early Childhood Oral Health is also relevant for pediatricians and pediatric nursing specialists worldwide.

In 2000, the US Surgeon General announced that dental caries is a "silent epidemic" and the most prevalent disease affecting children. Though much has been written on the science and practice of managing this disease, publications are diverse in their loci preventing easy access to the reader. Early Childhood Oral Health coalesces all important information related to this important topic in a comprehensive reference for students, academics, and practioners. In addition to the latest information about preventing childhood caries, other topics include public health approaches to managing caries worldwide, implementation of new prevention programs, fluoride regimens, and new technologies in caries risk assessment.

Oral health disparities are profound worldwide, and they affect the quality of life of individuals of all age groups. Disparities in oral health are seen in racial and ethnic minorities, at different socioeconomic levels and due to differences in environment and cultural factors. Several determinants of oral health have been identified at the population, community, family and individual levels. These determinants represent a complex interplay of the social, biological, cultural and economic factors that in turn affect the oral health behaviors, environmental exposures, health care utilization. To date, biological factors related to oral diseases have received much attention in oral health research; whilst social and cultural determinants have just started to receive recognition for their role in oral disease development and progression. This research highlights that interventions designed to reduce disparities should adopt a multi-level approach in order to identify the modifiable mechanisms and target all determinants of oral health disparities. In this Research Topic, we will focus on the role of social, environmental and cultural factors in the development and progression of oral diseases, their role in oral health disparities and interventions focusing on these factors to improve oral health and reduce disparities.

"Improving the oral health of children requires a public health approach that moves beyond conventional dental health education. Written by experts in dental public health and pediatric dentistry, this evidence-based book examines several approaches to improving pediatric oral health and explains what strategies work and why. The authors advocate for a new model of pediatric oral health that tackles the underlying causes of poor oral health through a range of complementary actions, including the establishment of working partnerships with the relevant agencies and sectors and a focus on eliminating risk factors and their social determinants. This book outlines practical strategies for prevention and measurement of common dental problems among children, including dental caries, periodontal disease, traumatic dental injury, and malocclusion. Practical direction is given on creating supportive environments, building healthy public policies, strengthening community action, and re-orientating health services."--Publisher.
