Introduction: Parents have an important role ensuring their infants receive oral and medical health care. Their decisions affect the well-being of their children. Methods: This study used data collected from a longitudinal, prospective study with the aim of developing and validating a caries risk assessment tool. The objectives of this study are to ( a) compare parents’ perceptions of how well they do in taking care of the infants’ teeth and/or gums versus how well they do in taking care of the infants’ medical health and ( b) determine factors associated with parental perceptions of how well they do in taking care of the infants’ teeth and/or gums. Results: A total of 1323 parent/infant pairs were enrolled in the study at Duke University, Indiana University, and the University of Iowa. Through a survey, 283 (21%) of the parents perceived they did an excellent job of both taking care of both the infant’s oral and medical health, while 861 (65%) perceived the care of their infant’s medical health was better than their care of the teeth and/or gums. In the multivariable model, parents who perceived they provided excellent/very good/good care for the infants’ teeth and/or gums were more likely to brush the infant’s teeth daily, use toothpaste daily, clean inside the infant’s mouth and/or gums daily, and not let the infant have something other than water after brushing and prior to bedtime. Also, those with infants having Medicaid or State Insurance, parents not eating sugary snacks frequently, and parents getting dental checkups at least annually were likely to perceive that they provided excellent/very good/good care for their infant’s teeth and/or gums. Conclusions: Parents who provide good infant oral health care are more likely to perceive they provide good care and more likely to have better personal dental health behaviors. This agrees with previous studies concerning older children.

Aging is a natural and irreversible process of life. Oral health of elderly people is an important public health issue and good oral health is an essential part of their health care. Currently, the challenge lies in aligning the existing health system with the needs and preferences of the elderly people. The aim of this article is to propose a model for Domiciliary Oral Health Care Services for elderly in Qatar, wherein a definite pathway for oral care is identified and the Domiciliary Oral Health Care Services program is standardized, from the initial phase of oral assessment, through the oral health promotion and preventative phase until the dental treatment phase. This model will help to deliver oral health care to elderly who may be unable to access or face difficulties to access the dental services in conventional dental clinical settings due to disability, infirmity or old age. It will ensure oral comfort, pain relief, essential oral care and enhancement of oral hygiene for the elderly. Working in collaboration with organizations offering Home Healthcare Services, Domiciliary Oral Health Care Services will help in realization of the shared goal of achieving ‘Healthy Ageing’, holistic health and welfare for the elderly in Qatar. By favoring the policy to initiate the DOHCS as “Essential health services that benefits all elderly people living in Qatar”, the State of Qatar would probably be the pioneer in Middle East region to initiate such a program at National level for improving the oral health of the elderly.
