avje otrok in mladostnikov | health of children and adolescents 140 with toothpaste with fluoride. After two years of follow-up, the results showed
significant improvements in the results of dental plaques with up to 34% reduc-
tion in the incidence of caries (Petersen et al., 2015). Activities in kindergartens
should also be adapted to the age of children. The study has shown that chil-
dren aged 5 to 6 years have greater ability to properly clean teeth compared to
children aged 3 and 4 years. This suggests that manual brushing ability with
age is improving (Wambier et al., 2013). For better learning in children, it is
important that oral nursing activities are not performed once but are repeated
(Carvalho et al., 2013). Nurses play a key role in promoting the health of chil-
dren and preventing the illness of pre-school children in kindergartens. To-
gether with professional associates, they promote health education measures
for the adoption of healthy lifestyles in the pre-school age. It is important that
health promotion measures are also presented to parents who would encour-
age adequate oral hygiene at home as well. Parents of children play a very im-
portant role in preventing early caries. Without their help, all the efforts of a
nurse are in vain.
