NCT ID NCT05756413
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether specially designed videos can help parents of young children prevent early childhood cavities. The program uses motivational messages to encourage good oral health habits. Researchers are following over 1,200 families enrolled in the WIC program in Iowa, from pregnancy until the child turns 3 years old. The goal is to see if children whose parents watched the motivational videos have fewer cavities than those who watched standard educational videos.
