          Background

          During COVID‐19 pandemic, children are confined at home, with changes in family routines.

          Aim

          Evaluate sleep disorders among Brazilian and Portuguese children during social distancing, and its association with parental perception of child’s oral hygiene.

          Design

          In this cross‐sectional study, Portuguese and Brazilian parents/caregivers of 3‐15‐year‐old children, practicing social distancing due to COVID‐19 pandemic, answered an online questionnaire, from April 24 th‐26 th 2020, evaluating sociodemographic characteristics, child’s school activities online, child’s sleep quality during social distancing. Two questions from the questionnaire, developed based on previous studies, evaluated the parental perception of child’s oral hygiene quality and routine changes during social distancing. Parents/caregivers answered five domains of the Portuguese‐language version of the Sleep Disturbances Scale for Children, evaluating sleep–breathing disorders, disorders of arousal, sleep–wake transition disorders, disorders of excessive somnolence and sleep hyperhidrosis. Descriptive, Linear‐by‐linear association, Kruskal‐Wallis and Post‐Hoc analysis were performed ( P≤0.05).

          Results

          Participated in the study 253 parents/caregivers, 50.2% from Brazil. Most parents (72.2%) reported changes in child’s routine during social distancing. Sleep–breathing disorders ( P=0.019), sleep–wake transition disorders ( P=0.022) and disorders of excessive somnolence ( P<0.001) were associated with poor oral hygiene during social distancing.

          Conclusion

          Sleep disorders are associated with poor oral hygiene during social distancing.
