| description | Children aged 6 and below need supervision by their parents during tooth brushing. 40 children aged 4 and 5 together with their
mothers were selected from IIUM Educare, Kuantan. They were assessed clinically for their caries status by using DMFT/dmft
index. 57.5% of the mothers supervised their children during tooth brushing. Methods of supervision include; assisting the child
during tooth brushing (22.5%), the mothers brush for the children once daily (22.5%) and the mothers brush for the children twice
daily (12.5%). Interestingly, majority of the children who were caries free and have high caries rate did not receive any
supervision. There was no significant relationship between methods of supervision and the caries status of the children (p
value=0.905) and no correlation between caries status of the mothers and their children (r = 0.267, p value=0.096).
This study concluded that supervision during child tooth brushing alone does not affect the caries status of the children. |
