The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of video format social stories used to inform and educate children and parents about proper dental hygiene technique over a 6 week intervention period. We will measure the success of intervention using data collected from clinical exams and caregiver/participant surveys. Evaluation of data collected will be used to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.
