The aim of this work is to review and systematize literature data devoted to the study of the influence of various factors on the state of children's dental health. A combination of many factors contributes to the high level of dental morbidity: unfavorable environmental living conditions, psycho-emotional state of children. This is especially relevant in the current difficult time for Ukraine, when the country is at war. Social factors also have a significant impact on the state of dental morbidity in children. A significant role in the occurrence and course of dental pathology is played by the general state of health, the presence of somatic pathology, as well as the state of oral hygiene. One of the important tasks is the formation of risk gr ups of children, followed by followup and a complex of medical and preventive measures.

However, compliance with even simple manipulations, in particular hygienic care of the oral cavity, can contribute to the stabilization and improvement of dental health.
