Parents of black children with nursing caries reported more severe lactose intolerance symptoms related to milk products. Feeding habits and fluid choices also differed between children with and without nursing caries.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Nutritional Science
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Dental caries, particularly nursing caries, is linked to fermentable carbohydrates in the diet.
  • Lactose intolerance is prevalent in black children, increasing with age.
  • Clinical observations suggest a correlation between nursing caries and lactose intolerance in this demographic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if parents of black children with nursing caries perceive more severe lactose intolerance symptoms linked to milk consumption compared to parents of caries-free children.
  • To identify differences in feeding habits and fluid intake between children with nursing caries and caries-free children.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to parents of 60 black children (ages 18-54 months).

Related Experiment Videos

  • Participants were divided into two groups: 30 with nursing caries and 30 caries-free.
  • Data on lactose intolerance symptoms, feeding habits, and fluid selection were collected and analyzed using chi-square or t-test analysis (p < 0.05).

    • Main Results:

    • Parents of children with nursing caries reported more severe lactose intolerance symptoms associated with milk products.
    • Significant differences were observed in feeding habits and the types of fluids given to children with nursing caries compared to caries-free children.

    Conclusions:

    • Parental perception of lactose intolerance severity may be associated with nursing caries in black children.
    • Dietary practices and fluid selection are potential contributing factors to nursing caries in this population.
