Summary

We hypothesize that oral hygiene habits in children 8-12 years of age can be improved using video format Social Story intervention techniques. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of video format social stories used to inform and educate children and parents about proper dental hygiene technique over a 6 week intervention period. We will measure the success of intervention using data collected from clinical exams and caregiver/participant surveys. Evaluation of data collected will be used to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.

BEHAVIORAL

video modeled social story

Patient will watch a Youtube compatible video of a child in the same age range as the study participants demonstrating proper brushing technique. The video will be paired with written subtitles created using the Social Story format. The subtitles will be read to the participant as the video plays. The patient will watch the video immediately before each brushing session morning and night for the three week intervention. After the intervention period the video will be made available on Youtube.com for the participants to use as they wish.
