Conclusions: The prevalence of nursing caries was high and was significantly associated with mixed type of feeding practices and who were breastfed or bottlefed at night. nursing caries, bottle feeding, breast feeding, preschoolhttp://www.jiaphd.org/article.asp?issn=2319-5932;year=2013;volume=11;issue=3;spage=17;epage=23;aulast=Narangnursing cariesbottle feedingbreast feedingpreschool |
