In addition to secondary factors, the practice of feeding is highlighted in the etiology of caries in early childhood (CPI). This disease is defined as the presence of one or more carious tooth surfaces, lost or obtained in children under 6 years of age, with the present study as an objective to evaluate eating practices in childhood, as well as secondary factors, and their relationship with the dental caries of patients seen at the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic I and II of the University of Ribeirão Preto. Initially, this study was submitted to the Research Ethics Committee of UNAERP, which was approved, and subsequently, data collection was performed. For the evaluation, a structured questionnaire was applied addressing some items on children's habits and their guardians: Nutrition; Brushing; Dental eruption; Diet; Behavioral evaluation; Presence of carious lesions; among others. After the data were tabulated and analyzed in a descriptive way, it was possible to evidence that out of the 34 children participating in the study, 97% performed natural (breast) breastfeeding. The industrialized feeding started in 53% of the participants between 1 and 2 years; 59% brushed their teeth 3x/day or more, and 35% did not receive any help. 97% used fluoridated toothpaste. Most (65%) reported not using dental floss; 53% had their first tooth born before 6 months of age and 38% between 6 months and 1 year. 59% consumed candy 1x/day, and 79% never went to the nutritionist. At clinical examination, 24% had white spot lesion (75% active). It is possible to conclude that habits harmful to the oral health of preschool children can result in negative consequences for the dental elements.
