Can video games fight cavities? new study puts kids to the test

NCT ID NCT07097324

Summary

This study tested whether an educational program using interactive videos and games could improve children's oral health better than a standard dental talk. Researchers worked with 220 eleven-year-old schoolchildren in Malaysia. One group played the educational games and got the standard talk, while the other group only got the talk, to see which approach led to better brushing habits and less sugary food.
