Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
For every dental examination, clinical chatting form for the children will be collected after filling in by examiner. Questionnaire will be collected after filling in by the caregivers. And infants' plaque and saliva will be collected to detect the S. mutans level. We plan to do the dental examination three times for one infant including the first time recruiting, one year follow-up, and two year follow-up.
The establishments of the good oral health-related habits will safeguard and have sustained benefits for the children. The study can provide evidence on the effectiveness of xylitol toothpaste and risk of high fluoride toothpaste among young children. In the long term, the findings of the study might serve as a foundation for establishing an effective oral health care promotion programme throughout Hong Kong and beyond. The framework, if shown to be effective, could help development of the oral health policies and promotion programmes to achieve better oral health among young children eventually.
