A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 1367 male and female children aged six and seven years enrolled at public and private schools in the city of Recife (Brazil) in 2013. The children at tending public schools were socioeconomically less privileged than those attending private schools. Data were collected through interviews and intraoral examinations. Caries experience was high (53.3%) in the overall sample, but less privileged children had larger percentages of decayed teeth and teeth that required extraction (p < 0.001). Childrenless privileged social class had a greater chance of having a low (OR= 1.77 [95% CI 1.33 - 2.35]), moderate (OR= 4.41 [95% CI: 3.18 - 6,14]) and high (OR= 9.55 [95% CI 6.01 - 15.16]) caries experience. They also had a greater chance of never visiting a dentist (OR= 2.90 [95% CI 2.25 - 3.74]) and had dental anxiety (OR= 1.70 [95% CI 1.34-2, 16]).
