Summary

This study tests whether a digital app (MoodBrush) or parents showing kids how to brush works better for reducing dental plaque. About 112 children aged 3-6 will brush one time in the clinic, and researchers will measure plaque before and after. The goal is to find a fun, effective way to improve kids' brushing habits.
