We aimed to address this evidence gap by investigating oral health and access to preventive dental services among children with ASN compared to the general child population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Cohort study linking data from six Scotland\u2010wide health and education databases compared: dental caries experience and tooth extraction via general anaesthetic; receipt of school\u2010based dental inspection; access to primary care and hospital dental services; and access to the Childsmile national oral health improvement programme between children with a range of ASN (intellectual disabilities, autism, social and other) and their peers for the school years 2016\/17\u20132018\/19 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0166\u2009781).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Children with any ASN had higher rates of caries experience than those with no ASN, however, after adjustment for socioeconomic deprivation, sex, year, and school type only those with a social or other ASN remained at increased risk. Rates of tooth extraction under general anaesthesia in hospital were higher among children with intellectual disabilities (aRR\u00a0=\u00a01.67;95% CI\u00a0=\u00a0[1.16\u20132.37]). School\u2010based dental inspection access improved for children with intellectual disability and\/or autism from 2016\/17 onwards, although higher rates of child refusal on the day were observed in these groups (no ASN refusal: 5.4%; intellectual disability: 35.8%; autism: 40.3%). Children with any ASN were less likely to attend primary dental\u2010care regularly, and in those who attended, children with intellectual disability or autism were less likely than their peers to receive prevention (fluoride varnish, oral\u2010hygiene instruction, or dietary advice). Childsmile nursery\u2010supervised toothbrushing programme access among children with any ASN was similar to children with no ASN and children with intellectual disability (aRR\u00a0=\u00a01.27;95% CI\u00a0=\u00a0[1.12\u20131.45]) or autism (aRR\u00a0=\u00a01.32;95% CI\u00a0=\u00a0[1.19\u20131.45]) were more likely to receive support from Childsmile dental health support worker.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>We have identified inequalities in oral health and dental care for children with different ASN in Scotland with both a greater burden of disease among some groups and higher complexity of care; compounded by reduced and variable access to preventive dental services. Further efforts are needed to develop and improve preventive care pathways for children with ASN and integrate oral health to wider healthcare systems for these children to mitigate against oral health inequalities.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cdoe.12805","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,10]],"date-time":"2022-11-10T11:59:16Z","timestamp":1668081556000},"page":"494-502","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Child oral health and preventive dental service access among children with intellectual disabilities, autism and other educational additional support needs: A population\u2010based record linkage cohort study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"51","author":[{"given":"Andrea","family":"Sherriff","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing, College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences University of Glasgow  Glasgow UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ryan","family":"Stewart","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Dentistry and Nursing, College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences University of Glasgow  Glasgow UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorna M.
