AB  - BACKGROUND: The objective of the authors was to assess the relationships between 
      tobacco smoke exposure (TSE) and dental health and dental care visits among US 
      children. METHODS: The authors examined 2018-2019 National Survey of Children's 
      Health data on TSE, dental health, and oral health care visits. Children aged 1 
      through 11 years (N = 32,214) were categorized into TSE groups: no home TSE (did 
      not live with a smoker), thirdhand smoke (THS) exposure (lived with a smoker who 
      did not smoke inside the home), or secondhand smoke (SHS) and THS exposure (lived 
      with a smoker who smoked inside the home). The authors conducted multivariable 
      logistic regression analyses, adjusting for child age, sex, race or ethnicity, 
      prematurity, caregiver education level, family structure, and federal poverty 
      threshold. RESULTS: Children with home SHS and THS exposure were at increased 
      odds of having frequent or chronic difficulty with 1 or more oral health problem 
      (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.59; 95% CI, 1.07 to 2.35; P = .022) and carious 
      teeth or caries (AOR, 1.74; 95% CI 1.14 to 2.65; P = .010) than those with no 
      TSE. Compared with children aged 1 through 11 years with no TSE, children with 
      SHS and THS exposure were 2.22 times (95% CI, 1.01 to 4.87; P = .048) more likely 
      to have not received needed oral health care but at decreased odds of having had 
      any kind of oral health care visit (AOR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.32 to 0.95; P = .032), 
      including a preventive oral health care visit (AOR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.99; P 
      = .047). CONCLUSIONS: TSE in children is associated with caries and inadequate 
      oral health care visits. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The pediatric dental visit is an 
      opportune time to educate caregivers who smoke about dental health to improve 
      their children's teeth condition and increase oral health care visits.
