If the child does not have the habit of brushing his teeth, he must study the parents, since in many cases it turns out that parents do not possess it and then the mission and task of teaching hygiene becomes arduous and difficult. A teaching method is to dye the teeth in the consultation to demonstrate the existence of bacterial plaque, today there are many children’s explanatory brochures that cause pediatric patients to understand that there are ‘bichitos’ that can destroy their teeth.
