Results: Of the 21 articles selected for the narrative review, it was found that the most frequent problems were: the presence of dental pain, followed by difficulty eating and drinking hot and cold beverages, and finally difficulty sleeping.
Conclusion: Early childhood caries is considered a worldwide health problem that affects children under 6 years of age, causing problems both in the oral cavity and in general health, generating phonetic and psychological risks, among others that affect the quality of life of the child and his or her parents or caregivers.
