- Abstract
Information on nutritional, hygiene and other health-related data on mouth health decreases caries. Knowledge of parents and caretakers on mouth health of children is discussed by a quantitative, transversal and comparative study undertaken between October 2015 and March 2016 at a basic health unit. Sample comprising 62 parents/ caretakers was divided into two groups: with and without dentistry care. Data were collected by a form with closed questions. The group with dentistry care showed a greater adhesion and daily teeth brushing, a greater number of children in their first visit to the dentist, low daily intake of sugar and sweets, greater uptake of vegetables and sugar-less juice. Parents and caretakers who received guidelines by the dentist on mouth health were better informed and practiced the given instructions, when compared with the group without any dentistry directions.
