Publisher Description
Abstract Purpose. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the prevalence of early childhood caries (ECC) as a function of various ECC case definitions, in a population of children ages one to five, attending a Women, Infants and Children (WIC) or well-child clinic at an urban health department. Additionally, the study examines the association of sociodemographic factors, caregiver's oral health perceptions, resources, feeding and oral care behaviors, and prenatal and perinatal histories as risk factors for early childhood caries.
