Dental attendance provides an important opportunity for dental teams to explore with parents the oral health behaviours they undertake for their young children (0–5 years old). For these discussions to be effective, dental professionals need to be skilled in behaviour change conversations. The current evidence suggests that dental teams need further support, training and resources in this area. Therefore, the University of Leeds and Oral-B (Procter & Gamble Company) have worked with the local community and dental professionals to co-develop “Strong Teeth” (an oral health intervention), which is delivered in a general dental practice setting by the whole dental team. The protocol for this early phase study will explore the feasibility and acceptability of the Strong Teeth intervention to parents and the dental team, as well as explore short-term changes in oral health behaviour. Forty parents (20 of children aged 0–2 years old, and 20 of children aged 3–5 years old) who are about to attend the dentist for their child’s regular dental check-up will be recruited to the study. Parents and children will be recruited from 4 to 8 different dental practices. In the home setting, consent and baseline oral health behaviour data will be collected. The researchers will ask parents questions about their child’s oral health behaviours, including toothbrushing and diet. Three different proxy objective measures of toothbrushing will be collected and compared with self-report measures of parental supervised toothbrushing (PSB). The parent and child will then attend their dental visit and receive the Strong Teeth intervention, delivered by the dental team. This intervention should take 5–15 min to be delivered, in addition to the routine dental check-up. Furthermore, children aged 0–2 years old will receive an Oral-B manual children’s toothbrush, and children aged 3–5 years old will receive an Oral-B electric rechargeable children’s toothbrush. At 2 weeks and 2–3 months following the Strong Teeth intervention, further self-report and objective measures will be collected in the parent/child’s home. This data will be supplemented with purposively sampled qualitative interviews with parents (approximately 3 months following the intervention) and dental team members (following delivery of the intervention).

“强壮的牙齿”——牙科团队向幼儿父母提供的复杂口腔健康干预的早期可行性试验研究方案

看牙医为牙医团队提供了一个重要的机会，可以与父母一起探索他们为年幼的孩子（0-5 岁）进行的口腔健康行为。为了使这些讨论有效，牙科专业人员需要熟练进行行为改变对话。目前的证据表明，牙科团队需要在该领域提供进一步的支持、培训和资源。因此，利兹大学和 Oral-B（宝洁公司）与当地社区和牙科专业人士合作，共同开发“强牙”（一种口腔健康干预措施），由整个牙科团队。这项早期研究的方案将探讨强牙干预对父母和牙科团队的可行性和可接受性，以及探索口腔健康行为的短期变化。将招募 40 名父母（20 名 0-2 岁儿童和 20 名 3-5 岁儿童）即将去看牙医为他们的孩子进行定期牙科检查。家长和孩子将从 4 到 8 个不同的牙科诊所中招募。在家庭环境中，将收集同意和基线口腔健康行为数据。研究人员将向父母询问有关孩子口腔健康行为的问题，包括刷牙和饮食。将收集三种不同的刷牙代理客观测量值，并与父母监督刷牙（PSB）的自我报告测量值进行比较。然后，父母和孩子将参加他们的牙科访问并接受由牙科团队提供的强牙干预。除了常规的牙科检查外，这种干预应该需要 5-15 分钟才能完成。此外，0-2岁的儿童将获得Oral-B手动儿童牙刷，3-5岁的儿童将获得Oral-B电动充电儿童牙刷。在强牙干预后的 2 周和 2-3 个月，将在父母/孩子的家中收集进一步的自我报告和客观测量。这些数据将通过对父母（干预后约 3 个月）和牙科团队成员（干预实施后）的有目的地抽样定性访谈进行补充。ISRCTN 注册，（ISRCTN10709150）0-2岁儿童将获得Oral-B手动儿童牙刷一支，3-5岁儿童将获得Oral-B电动充电儿童牙刷一支。在强牙干预后的 2 周和 2-3 个月，将在父母/孩子的家中收集进一步的自我报告和客观测量。这些数据将通过对父母（干预后约 3 个月）和牙科团队成员（干预实施后）的有目的地抽样定性访谈进行补充。ISRCTN 注册，（ISRCTN10709150）0-2岁儿童将获得Oral-B手动儿童牙刷一支，3-5岁儿童将获得Oral-B电动充电儿童牙刷一支。在强牙干预后的 2 周和 2-3 个月，将在父母/孩子的家中收集进一步的自我报告和客观测量。这些数据将通过对父母（干预后约 3 个月）和牙科团队成员（干预实施后）的有目的地抽样定性访谈进行补充。ISRCTN 注册，（ISRCTN10709150）这些数据将通过对父母（干预后约 3 个月）和牙科团队成员（干预实施后）的有目的地抽样定性访谈进行补充。ISRCTN 注册，（ISRCTN10709150）这些数据将通过对父母（干预后约 3 个月）和牙科团队成员（干预实施后）的有目的地抽样定性访谈进行补充。ISRCTN 注册，（ISRCTN10709150）
