Discussion
This study has shown that providing first-time mothers with information on oral health care for their infants decreased the rate of S-ECC, with significant differences between the incidence of S-ECC in the test and control groups. It would seem
that the presentation, use of language, readability, credibility and usefulness of the information fulfilled the requirements of an oral health intervention and determined the helpfulness of printed material. Additional telephone consultation with
mothers in part of the test A group did not affect the outcome of the study.
