Phone-Based Support Improves Children's Oral Health Quality of Life

Posted: January 18, 2025
The study investigated the impact of parental psychosocial factors on children's oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) following a phone-based parental support intervention for severe Early Childhood Caries (ECC). Results showed that the intervention group had significantly improved OHRQoL compared to the control group, despite a higher caries burden. Parental stress, dental fears, and attitudes did not predict caries burden. The findings emphasize the importance of preventive initiatives and parental empowerment in reducing severe ECC and enhancing children's OHRQoL.
