Phase N/A

In Malaysia, even though there are decreasing trend in caries prevalence from a survey conduct in 1995 to 2015 (87.1% 1995, 76.2% 2005 and 71.3% 2015) [NOHPS 2015], yet the difference is just 15.8% in a period of 20 years. One of the factors which contribute to the development of ECC in children in prolonged bottle-feeding. Many literatures had mentioned association of bottle feeding and ECC however there are no controlled studies done on the effect of bottle feeding and ECC. Despite antenatal oral health promotion program done by Ministry of Health Malaysia and incorporation of oral hygiene education and oral hygiene instruction during dental visit, the prevalence of ECC remains high. This study will provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of oral health promotion in preventing early childhood caries by early termination of bottle feeding in toddlers.
