在华盛顿州玛丽斯维尔的图拉利普健康中心，77名年龄在12到36个月之间的婴儿接受了女婴(WIC)项目的检查。所有父母/照顾者都完成了问卷调查，其中包括29个关于儿童喂养、一般护理和牙齿健康行为的问题。完成问卷调查后，由一名牙医用口镜和探针器进行牙科检查。结果表明，总患龋率为46.8%(12至18个月组为26%，18至24个月组为56%，24至36个月组为56%)。儿童平均龋齿数为2.09颗，依次为0.83颗、2.17颗和2.86颗。儿童的龋齿与以下因素显著相关：现在喂奶瓶(63.9%比29.3%，p=.00)，在婴儿入睡时给奶瓶(82.4%比61.0%，p=0.03)，以及两餐之间吃三次或更多零食(73.5%比40.0%，p=0.01)。同样，刷牙行为与龋齿有关。这些结果表明，目前的人群有患龋齿的风险，而奶瓶以外的喂养方式似乎是该人群中婴儿患龋率的行为危险因素。
Seventy-seven infants, ages twelve to thirty-six months, were examined in a Women Infant Children (WIC) program at the Tulalip Health Center, Marysville, Washington. All parents/caregivers completed questionnaires, which consisted of twenty-nine questions regarding children's feeding, general care, and dental health behavior. After completing questionnaires, dental examinations were conducted with mouth mirror and explorer by one dentist. Results indicated overall caries prevalence of 46.8 percent (26 percent for twelve to eighteen months, 56 percent for eighteen to twenty-four months and 56 percent for twenty-four to thirty-six months groups). The overall average number of carious teeth per child (deft) was 2.09 (0.83, 2.17 and 2.86, in order). Caries in children was significantly associated with following factors; bottle fed now (63.9 percent vs 29.3 percent, p = .00), giving bottle as baby falls sleep (82.4 percent vs 61.0 percent, p = .03), and 3 times or more snacks between meals (73.5 percent vs 40.0 percent, p = .01). Similarly, brushing behavior was related to caries. These results suggest that the present population was at risk for caries and that feeding patterns beyond bottle use appear to be behavioral risk factors in the prevalence of infant caries in this population.
