Effect of the SIMS Programme on Preschool Children's Oral Hygiene Level

The intervention targets 5-6-year-old preschool children and their parents. Apart from the usual care, 5-6-year-old children receive oral health lessons and supervised daily tooth brushing (1000ppm F) at school over a period of 6 months, as well as home tooth brushing supervision by parents for 6 months. Parents/guardians attend a meeting with a DT team at school to discuss on child's oral health status, receive OHE and free toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste (1000ppm F) for child home tooth brushing, and receive 10 oral health infographic messages from DT over a period of 5 months (with printed versions available).
