Oral Health Promotion in Children in Juniper in Advances in Dentistry & Oral Health (ADOH)
The aim of this study was to assess improvement in motivation for tooth-brushing, the timing of tooth-brushing and the understanding of oral hygiene, healthy food habits and regular dental visits in children using Happy Tooth Song as an oral health promotion tool. 3-6 year-old children from an urban pre-school of Navi Mumbai were selected. Group A was given Happy Tooth Song and Group B acted as a control. On day one, instructions were given to both groups regarding tooth-brushing, importance of oral hygiene, healthy food habits and regular dental visits. Parents played the song on the cell phones while brushing their child’s teeth. Two groups of children were assessed after 15 days.
