This cross\u2010sectional study examined the association between the consumption of milk and dairy products and dental caries among Japanese children aged 3 years.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study subjects were 6221 children. Parents or guardians completed a questionnaire, including a self\u2010administered food frequency questionnaire for children. Dentists assessed dental caries, and these data were recorded in each child's maternal and child health handbook. Parents or guardians transcribed these data from the handbook to our questionnaire. Children were classified as having dental caries if they had one or more decayed or filled primary teeth. Associations with dental caries were assessed using logistic regression analysis with adjustments in demographics, dietary and lifestyle factors, and parental socioeconomic status.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of dental caries was 14.6%. Intakes of milk, cheese, and yogurt were associated with 21%, 26%, and 35% decreases, respectively, in the odds of the prevalence of dental caries (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.02, 0.001, and 0.002, respectively), whereas the intake of other dairy products, such as probiotic milk, ice cream, or custard pudding, was associated with a 2.3\u2010fold increase in the odds of the prevalence of dental caries (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001).
