Abstract
Teachers and schools have the opportunity to play an essential role in developing healthy habits in students. Their purpose is to determine behavioral patterns at this stage of a child's development. Many oral health problems can be prevented, and their early onset can be reversible. However, a considerable number of children, parents and teachers have limited knowledge of the causes and prevention of oral diseases. Oral health can be promoted by improving education and correct information about risk factors, as well as encouraging the population to adopt healthy behaviors and lifestyles.
