Although much is known about the aetiology of dental caries, there is limited evidence on the understanding of caregivers on readily available early childhood oral health education materials.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Aim.\u2002<\/jats:bold> The purpose of this study was to record how parents cope with dental health education materials for preschool children commonly available in New South Wales, Australia.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Design.\u2002<\/jats:bold> This qualitative study was nested within a large cohort study in South Western Sydney. English\u2010speaking mothers (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u200324) with young children were approached for a face\u2010to\u2010face, semi\u2010structured interview at their homes. Two dental leaflets designed by NSW Health to give advice on monitoring young children\u2019s oral health were sent to mothers prior to the interview. Interviews were recorded and subsequently transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were analysed by interview debriefing and a thematic coding.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results.<jats:sc>\u00a0<\/jats:sc><\/jats:bold> Mothers generally reported that the leaflets were easy to read but noted that the information pertaining to bottle feeding was confusing. Furthermore, they were unable to understand terms such as \u2018fluoride\u2019 and \u2018fissure sealants\u2019. Early childhood nutrition and infant teething were inadequately addressed, and mothers preferred pictorial presentations to improve their understanding of oral health.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions.\u2002<\/jats:bold> Producers of health education leaflets should keep the messages simple and straightforward, avoid the use of medical jargon, and use pictorial aids to improve communication with parents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-263x.2011.01195.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,11]],"date-time":"2011-11-11T03:58:23Z","timestamp":1320983903000},"page":"302-309","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["\u2018I can\u2019t relate it to teeth\u2019: a qualitative approach to evaluate oral health education materials for preschool children in New South Wales, Australia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"AMIT","family":"ARORA","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MICHELLE A.","family":"McNAB","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"MATTHEW W.","family":"LEWIS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"GLEN","family":"HILTON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ANTHONY S.","family":"BLINKHORN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ELI","family":"SCHWARZ","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.2041-1626.2011.00070.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_2","volume-title":"The Child Dental Health Survey, Australia 1996","author":"Armfield JM","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1834-7819.2008.00025.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_2","volume-title":"The Child Dental Health Survey, Australia, 2002","author":"Armfield JM","year":"2007"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_2","volume-title":"Children\u2019s Dental Health in the United Kingdom, 2003","author":"Lader D","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Surveillance for dental caries, dental sealants, tooth retention, edentulism and enamel fluorosis \u2013 United States, 1988\u20131994 and 1999\u20132002","volume":"54","author":"Beltran\u2010Aguilar ED","year":"2005","journal-title":"MMWR Surveill Summ"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_2","volume-title":"The Scientific Basis of Oral Health Education","author":"Levine RS","year":"2009"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0528.1978.tb01154.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_2","volume-title":"Health Literacy.
