Background Dental caries ( DC ) remains a public health issue. Chronotype, diet, and oral hygiene may influence its development. Objective To investigate the association of chronotype, diet, oral hygiene, and DC among 12‐year‐olds. Methods A cross‐sectional study with 245 adolescents was conducted in public and private schools in southeast Brazil. Sociodemographics, dietary and oral hygiene habits were collected through a self‐reported questionnaire. Chronotype was assessed using the Portuguese version of the Puberty and Phase Preference Scale ( PPPS ). Subjects were examined for DC ( WHO criteria). Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed ( P < 0.05). Results DC was present in 42.0% of the sample. In the bivariate analysis, a higher DMFT was associated with living in rural areas ( P = 0.006), parents’/caregivers’ lower schooling ( P = 0.008), and a not daily intake of vegetables ( P = 0.033). Chronotype was not associated with DMFT scores. The Poisson regression model showed that adolescents who did not have breakfast regularly ( PR = 1.55; 95% CI = 1.17‐2.08; P = 0.003), lived in rural areas ( PR = 2.20; 95% CI = 1.59‐3.04; P < 0.001) and did not consume vegetables daily ( PR = 1.55; 95% CI = 1.11‐2.17; P = 0.009) were more likely to present a higher DMFT . Conclusions DC is associated to living in rural areas and dietary habits, such as not having breakfast regularly and lack of daily intake of vegetables.
