This article reviews the literature on child dental caries in various ethnic groups in the Netherlands. Material from fifteen studies showed generally the dental health of five- to eleven-year-old children of parents born in Turkey or Morocco to be far worse than that of children of Dutch or Surinamese parents. The ethnic groups distinguished, however, turned out not to be homogeneous with regard to dental health. Within each ethnic group the socio-economic status as well as the parental level of fluency in the Dutch language were important additional risk indicators for caries. Regular toothbrushing seemed to be the most important factor to diminish the caries risk.
本文综述了荷兰不同族裔儿童龋齿的相关文献。15项研究的资料表明，父母出生在土耳其或摩洛哥的5至11岁儿童的牙齿健康状况总体上远不如荷兰或苏里南父母的孩子。然而，所区分的族裔群体在牙齿健康方面并非同质。在每个族裔群体中，社会经济地位以及父母的荷兰语流利程度是龋齿的重要附加风险指标。定期刷牙似乎是降低龋齿风险的最重要因素。
