Dental caries and oral health behavior in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
TL;DR: At age 13, children with ADHD do not exhibit a statistically significantly higher caries prevalence but do have poorer oral health behavior than children in a control group, and the intervals between dental examinations should be shorter than for other children to prevent a higher carie incidence in adolescence.
