The impact of parental dental anxiety and oral health literacy on child oral health and dental-visit patterns: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Identifying the risk indicators of parental dental anxiety (PDA) and oral health literacy (OHL) can help oral healthcare professionals recognise challenges in this field. Armed with the appropriate information, they can effectively engage with parents to build trust and promote early and regular child dental visits.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between PDA and OHL with the sociobehavioural characteristics of families, self-reported child oral health (presence of ≥ 1 untreated decayed teeth) and the dental visit patterns amongst children living in Al Jouf Province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The Impact of Temporomandibular Disorders on Orthodontic Management: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
