First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested if interactive videos and games can improve how 11-year-old schoolchildren in Malaysia care for their teeth. 220 kids took part, with one group playing educational games plus a standard talk, and the other group only getting the talk. Researchers checked their brushing habits, knowledge, and diet before, one month after, and three months after the program to see if the games made a difference.
