Early Childhood Caries (ECC) In Preschool Children
The New Age Parents, 8 Feb - https://thenewageparents.com/early-childhood-caries-ecc-in-preschool-children/
After gathering survey data from parents with young children, four final-year students from NTU’s WKWSCI found that only 1 out of the 109 respondents brought their child to the dentist by the recommended age of one. The team’s campaign, titled Smile Toothgether, aims to reduce the incidence of ECC in Singapore by raising awareness among parents of the need to bring their children for their first dental visit by the recommended age of one or when the first tooth erupts, whichever comes first. Supported by oral health professionals, the campaign offers parents advice and information on their child’s oral health, and tackles common misconceptions parents have regarding early childhood oral health.
