Abstract

This article aims to analyze the effectiveness of dental health education and promotion aimed at children from 8 to 10 years of age. Through a review of the literature published in recent years, the importance of early prevention of oral diseases in children is examined and how educational interventions and dental health promotion can improve their quality of life. The results of the study show that these measures are effective in the prevention of oral diseases in this degree of population. An observation methodology based on surveys was used and based on the results, the need for greater education and promotion of dental health in children and young people is suggested to achieve optimal oral health throughout their lives. The sample was taken from the Tuntatacto Educational Unit, sixth year of E.G.B, where the sample is 25 children. In turn, we will also specify preventive measures and other factors that affect oral health
