Abstract

Introduction: Oral health education is a necessary pillar for the correct development of teeth during early childhood. Children's stories offer advantages for learning in children.

Aim: to make and validate a book of children's stories and poems for the promotion of oral health in early childhood.

Method: a book of poems, poems and riddles was prepared. For the validation of the book as a health promotion method, 44 children were selected from the Antonio Fernández León Resource and Support Center, with prior informed consent of their parents.

Results: the study was mainly represented by the female sex (59 %). The 5-6 years age group predominated, with a total of 31 children (70.5 %). In the initial stage, 81.8 % of the children presented inadequate knowledge before reading the book. After interaction with the book, 90.9 % improved their oral health culture.

Conclusions: children's stories, poems and riddles are useful for the promotion of oral health and prevention of dental caries. Educational and outreach plans for early childhood are methods used in the prevention of oral diseases.
