Abstract
Childhood caries were the most common and had the greatest impact on the quality of life. The caregivers could improve their children’s oral health. The purpose was to assess the caregivers’ oral health literacy, dental caries and oral health related-quality of life among 1-3-year-old children, Phrankratai district, Kamphaeng Phet province. Using a cross-sectional analysis and systematic random sampling, 402 parent-child pairs aged 1-3 years were sampled. Data were collected for general information, oral health literacy questionnaires, children’s oral health examination and Thai-version of the early childhood oral health impact scale questionnaires. Analysis of descriptive and multinomial logistic regression was applied. 50.4% of caregivers were mother, 94.5% were female, the mean age was 39.6±14.03, 41% were farmers, and 44.0% had completed secondary school. There were 50.7% boys and 49.3% girls in the child population. The caregivers' oral health literacy scores were moderate (mean=70.50±15.23). 12.7% of children experienced at least one oral health impact, with toothache being the most frequent issue (6.5 %). The multinomial logistic regression showed education level (OR=6.62, 95%CI=3.22-1.36) and relationship to the child (OR=3.07, 95%CI=1.39-6.77) were significant predictors of caregivers’ oral health literacy. Dental caries and Oral health-related quality of life in children were not associated to caregivers’ oral health literacy.
