Summary
This study tests whether teaching children in Uganda how to brush their teeth, use fluoride varnish, and eat healthy foods can prevent cavities. About 610 school children aged 5-17 will be split into two groups: one gets the prevention program, the other does not. Researchers will check their teeth over time to see if the program works.
