Safeguard Your Smile an oral health literacy intervention

Safeguard Your Smile intervention will consist of following five components: i) Reviewing photonovel (educational booklet) with participants to help them understand adequate oral hygiene self-care behavior. ii) Demonstrating adequate tooth brushing, flossing and tongue cleaning (frequency, duration and technique) on dentoform iii) Helping participants to make a concrete plan (specifying when where and how will they perform oral hygiene self-care behavior and a coping plan). Also, to identify a prompt/cue that would act as a reminder. iv) Assigning a task to participants to daily check-mark their behavioral progress on a calendar provided in the photonovel for the next three months. v) Follow up by making three phone calls to each participant of the intervention group once a month.
