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]). Socioeconomic status influences the dental caries experience, the visits to the dentist and the dental anxiety of the children analyzed.
