Dental caries is an infectious disease characterized by the destruction of hard dental tissues. It is the most common chronic disease in children, yet it is preventable and curable. Oral health is defined as the absence of orofacial pain, mouth sores, infections, caries and periodontal disease. A good oral health is essential to enjoy a good overall health and quality of life. We performed a descriptive study of the oral health and hygiene in a paediatric population.
