Summary

This study tests whether motivational interviewing — a supportive, patient-centered conversation style — can help mothers adopt better oral care habits for their infants, preventing early childhood caries. Researchers will enroll 228 mother-infant pairs in Malaysia, with half receiving motivational interviewing and half receiving standard advice. Infants' teeth will be checked at 6, 9, and 12 months to see if the approach reduces cavities.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
motivational interviewing
What this could lead to
If effective, this could provide a simple, low-cost way to prevent tooth decay in infants by improving mothers' oral health knowledge and practices.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial in one region of Malaysia, so results may not apply elsewhere. The intervention relies on behavior change, which is hard to sustain.
