    ECC, or early childhood caries, is a public health problem that affects infants and preschool children worldwide. The prevalence of ECC varies between populations but disadvantaged children are most vulnerable regardless of race, ethnicity, or culture. In the United States, the prevalence of dental caries among children aged 2-5 years was 24.2% in 1988-1994 and 27.9% in 1999-2004 according to the CDC. A study in Rome, Italy found the prevalence of any caries was 27.3% and 7.6% had ECC among children aged 3-5 years old.

    PREVALENCE: ECC is a public health problem that continues to affect infants and preschool
    children worldwide. A comprehensive review of the epidemiology of ECC showed that its
    prevalence varies from population to population; however, disadvantaged children,
    regardless of race, ethnicity, or culture, aremost vulnerable. In theUnited States, the Centers
    for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that the prevalence of dental caries
    among the nation’s youngest children, aged 2–5 years, was 24.2% in the National Health
    and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III between 1988 and 1994 and 27.9% in
    NHANES 1999–2004. Petti et al. evaluated the prevalence of ECC in children from 3 to 5
    years old in Rome (Italy). They found that the prevalence for any caries was 27.3 % and 7.6
    % for ECC
