Summary
This study tested whether offering small financial rewards to parents would encourage them to brush their young children's teeth more often, aiming to prevent cavities. 244 families with children in Early Head Start programs took part. Parents used a special Bluetooth toothbrush that recorded brushing, and some received money for meeting brushing goals. The goal was to see if rewards improve toothbrushing habits.
