Abstract

Thirty children (6 to 18 months), enrolled in a dental program since birth, make up the intervention group. Control group consisted of thirty children who were of similar age and gender but had never been to a dental office. The presence of visible dental plaque and the performance of oral hygiene dif-fered statistically between both groups. The dental program was effective in reducing visible dental plaque, and in establishing oral health habits among parents and young children.
