Summary

Dental decay is an alarming problem in Cree children. The intervention is a behavioural counseling approach called Motivational Interviewing (MI). The dental health of young children in communities whose mothers had a series of MI sessions provided by Cree women will be compared to the dental health of mothers who did not have the intervention.
