Summary
This study looked at whether showing children pictures of healthy teeth or decayed teeth helps them brush better. Sixty children aged 7 to 14 received oral hygiene education with either positive images, negative images, or no images. Their dental plaque and bad breath were checked before, one week after, and one month after the lesson to see which approach worked best.
