Cash for cavity prevention: study pays parents to brush Kids' teeth

NCT ID NCT03576326

Summary

This study tested whether offering small financial rewards to parents would encourage them to brush their young children's teeth more consistently. Researchers worked with 244 mostly Latino families in early childhood programs, using a smartphone-connected toothbrush to track brushing. The goal was to see if this incentive approach could help prevent early childhood cavities by improving daily oral hygiene habits.
