Abstract

Parents of 240 children between nine months and three years of age were interviewed using a questionnaire in order to determine cariogenic feeding habits and fluoride supplementation. Mean age of weaning from the bottle was 14.6 months. After 18 months of age, children from minority ethnic groups were more frequently bottle-fed than French-Canadian children (p < .005). Giving a bottle in bed (34.6% of cases) was more often practised by less educated mothers (p = .007) or by minority ethnic groups (p = .002), and was seen as a cariogenic factor by 31% of parents. Fluoride was given in half of cases, mainly by highly educated mothers (p = .001) and was mentioned as a preventive measure by 27% of parents. Physicians should be aware of poor parental knowledge and practices of preventive dentistry, and must discuss cariogenic feeding habits and fluoride supplementation during well-baby visits.

摘要

为了确定致龋喂养习惯和氟补充情况，我们使用问卷对240名年龄在9个月至3岁之间儿童的家长进行了访谈。停止奶瓶喂养的平均年龄为14.6个月。18个月龄后，少数族裔儿童使用奶瓶喂养的频率高于法裔加拿大儿童（p < 0.005）。学历较低的母亲（p = 0.007）或少数族裔（p = 0.002）更常让孩子含着奶瓶睡觉（34.6%的情况），31%的家长认为这是一个致龋因素。半数情况下会补充氟，主要是由高学历母亲进行（p = 0.001），27%的家长提到这是一种预防措施。医生应意识到家长对预防牙科知识和做法的欠缺，并且在婴儿健康检查期间必须讨论致龋喂养习惯和氟补充情况。
