Abstract

Early childhood caries is major oral health problem. It may impact health and development of the child’s physical, emotional and intellectual abilities. The current oral health promotion program focuses on common risk factors approach addressing risk factors general to many disease. There is a growing demand in implementing an integrated approach to effectively promote child development. Concurrently, the Thai Royal Government Gazette declared the creation of the Early Childhood Development Act of 2019 directing commitment on concrete development of early childhood through establishment of a coordinating agency. This enactment resulted to increase of focus on early childhood among government and private stakeholders. Several policies and programs have also been introduced communicating importance of early childhood to the society as the “golden-age period and cornerstone of growth.” It is an important period for children to form their own lifestyle. If they are trained to manage and control themselves, it will affect their health behaviors during adulthood. In particular, development of self-regulation skills, which is an executive function, is identified as an important component for early childhood development. Hence, this study aims to review and understand the concept of self-regulation and the relationship between self-regulation and oral health. We have identified a link between self-regulation and various health and social outcomes. However, there are few studies on the direct relationship between self-regulation and oral health and has not yet been studied in the context of Thailand. Moreover, self-regulation skills are strongly associated with eating behavior. Therefore, it is important to develop preventive approaches using psychological or behavioral strategiesfor oral health promotion program. Integrating promotion of self-regulation along with good eating behaviors are beneficial to the oral health of children in the future, but its success will hinge on effective teamwork and collaboration among multi-stakeholders.
