Article Synopsis
- Epilepsy is common in children, but little research exists on its effect on their oral health; this study aimed to assess that impact in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, using mothers' perceptions.
- The study included 96 children aged 2-18 with epilepsy; over half rated their dental status as bad, and the majority expressed a need for dental care.
- Key risk factors for poor dental status included cerebral palsy, motor disability, referral from a pediatric neurology clinic, and irregular tooth brushing, while being perceived as overweight decreased the risk; targeted dental interventions are necessary for children with motor impairments.
