OBJECTIVE
Breastfeeding is integral for the healthy development of infants during the first year of life. The objective of this study was to investigate the feeding practices and their effect on dental health among Saudi children in rural Jazan, the southern region of Saudi Arabia.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 330 participants from two villages namely Baish and Abu-Areesh of Jazan Province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Mothers whose children were above 2 years of age agreed for a face-to-face interview to discuss about feeding practices followed for their children. Later, these children underwent a complete dental examination.
RESULTS
In this study, it was found that a majority of mothers, 203 (61.15%) of them breastfed their children for less than a year, 105 (31.8%) of them breastfed for 2 to 4 years, and the remaining 22 (6.6%) of them breastfed for more than 4 years. Two hundred and forty-nine (75.15%) moms reported that they added sugar to milk while feeding and 259 (78.4%) mothers reported using sugar with pacifiers. Increased incidence of caries was seen with a statistically significant difference in children who were fed during sleep ( = 0.038), when the infant's teeth were not brushed after feeding ( = 0.004), and when sugar was added while feeding ( = 0.001).
CONCLUSION
Prevalence of dental caries was high in children who were fed during sleep and also in those kids using pacifiers containing sugar. Oral hygiene practices were also inadequate and positively associated with dental caries. These findings are suggestive of developing general and oral health interventions for children and also educating mothers on appropriate feeding practices.

目的
母乳喂养对婴儿出生后第一年的健康发育至关重要。本研究的目的是调查沙特阿拉伯南部地区吉赞农村地区沙特儿童的喂养习惯及其对牙齿健康的影响。
材料与方法
在沙特阿拉伯王国吉赞省的两个村庄——拜什村和阿布 - 阿雷什村，对330名参与者进行了一项横断面研究。孩子年龄在2岁以上的母亲同意接受面对面访谈，讨论她们孩子的喂养习惯。之后，这些孩子接受了全面的牙科检查。
结果
在本研究中，发现大多数母亲中，有203名（61.15%）母乳喂养孩子不到一年，105名（31.8%）母乳喂养2至4年，其余22名（6.6%）母乳喂养超过4年。249名（75.15%）母亲报告在喂奶时往牛奶里加糖，259名（78.4%）母亲报告在安抚奶嘴蘸糖使用。在睡眠期间喂奶的儿童（P = 0.038）、喂奶后不刷牙的婴儿（P = 0.004）以及喂奶时加糖的儿童（P = 0.001）中，龋齿发病率增加，差异具有统计学意义。
结论
睡眠期间喂奶的儿童以及使用含糖安抚奶嘴的儿童龋齿患病率较高。口腔卫生习惯也较差，且与龋齿呈正相关。这些发现提示应为儿童制定全面的口腔健康干预措施，并教育母亲采取适当的喂养方式。
