Summary:Objectives To examine the association between consumption frequency of foods and drinks with added sugar and dental caries experience in the permanent teeth of 12‐ and 15‐year‐old children in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, using the Children's Dental Health Survey 2013 (CDHS) data. Methods Four thousand nine hundred and fifty children aged 12 and 15 have the following information available: daily consumption frequency of foods and drinks with added sugar, tooth‐brushing frequency, dental attendance, and water‐drinking frequency. The children's dental caries experience was available as a DMFT score (number of decayed, missing, filled permanent teeth). A zero‐inflated negative binomial model (ZINB) was used to fit the DMFT score. Results Lower socioeconomic status (SES), nonregular dental check‐ups, and low water‐drinking frequency were associated with higher consumption frequency of added sugar (all P
