  • Public Health

Background:

  • Lack of preventive oral health control from birth in Spain leads to risks like increased childhood caries.
  • A critical need exists for structured oral health assessment and follow-up for children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design a pediatric dentistry booklet for clinical assessment and follow-up of children's oral health.
  • To evaluate the designed booklet among healthcare professionals and parents.

Main Methods:

  • The booklet was designed by pediatric dentists based on a literature review, focusing on preventive and curative oral health habits.
  • A preliminary version was evaluated by 40 pediatric dentists, dentists, pediatricians, and parents using a questionnaire.

Main Results:
