RK Dentistry Children aged 6 and below need supervision by their parents during tooth brushing. 40 children aged 4 and 5 together with their mothers were selected from IIUM Educare, Kuantan. They were assessed clinically for their caries status by using DMFT/dmft index. 57.5% of the mothers supervised their children during tooth brushing. Methods of supervision include; assisting the child during tooth brushing (22.5%), the mothers brush for the children once daily (22.5%) and the mothers brush for the children twice daily (12.5%).
