Aim: To evaluate the effect of instructional guidelines on new mothers' practices regarding children's teeth problems.

Two tools were used: (I) newly mothers’ interviewing questionnaire (pre/post), which included (a) demographic characteristics; and (b) newly mothers’ knowledge; and (II) observational checklist for oral hygiene practice (pre/post).

Conclusion: The instructional guidelines implementation regarding teeth problems had a positive effect on improving new mothers of preschool children's knowledge and practices. Recommendations: The instructional guidelines for new mothers should be conducted regularly to discuss and teach them different aspects about teeth problems among their children and replication of the current study with a larger sample with follow-up. | ||||
