Summary

This pilot study evaluates the feasibility of conducting a larger Randomized Controlled Trial to compare three oral health education delivery methods to a control group. Except for the control group, mothers in the three intervention groups will receive the same oral health education based on the OHEM module but differ in the delivery methods, namely lecture, exhibition, and demonstration. All groups will receive a booklet and oral hygiene kits and be instructed to educate their children at home. Pre- and post-intervention assessments include the satisfaction of participants, the researchers' evaluation and cost of the trial, oral hygiene status, and the knowledge of the parents and children.
