Samenvatting

This study explores the possible effects of the current corona pandemic and the ensuing measures on parental oral care behaviour, particularly during the lockdown period. Moreover, this study examines to what extent these effects differ according to the educational level of the parents. In total, 120 parents of children aged 4-5 years completed a digital questionnaire about parental oral care behaviour. The results show that during the coronavirus lockdown, 26% of parents skipped toothbrushing more often in the morning, 44% let their child snack more often, and 22% let their child drink sweetened drinks more often. In addition, parents with a high educational level skipped tooth brushing in the morning more often than parents with a low educational level. In contrast, parents with a low educational level skipped toothbrushing more often in the evening than parents with a high educational level. The results of this small study suggest that the coronavirus lockdown affected parental oral care behaviour.
