A positive decline in prevalence and severity of dental diseases has been observed over the past fifty years in children who are residents of industrialized countries.1 This may be due to appropriate health education programs that are conducted with the aim to decrease destructive oral health habits, so that impact of negative chronic oral disease becomes diminished.2
These dental health behavior programs conducted among children and young are scientifically planned3
to ensure positive long term dental health and hygiene, hence developing positive influence on child's knowledge, attitude and
practice towards sustaining good oral health.4
