As the living standards of our people continue to improve, the dietary structure continues to change, and the prevalence of dental caries in children is showing an increasing trend. Children aged 3-12 are at the peak age of dental caries, and this stage is also a key stage for children to develop oral health behavior habits. Children's oral health behavior habits and abilities are closely related to their own oral health. Oral hygiene intervention for children during this period is of great significance that cannot be ignored. This work focuses on popularizing the causes, hazards, prevention and measures of dental caries. It is hoped that children of this age and their parents can learn relevant oral health knowledge, realize that dental caries cannot be ignored, and know how to protect children's oral health. This work is not only a gift for children, but also hopes that parents can help children who are not strong enough in self-care ability to protect their teeth together.
