Tooth decay in preschool children, or early childhood caries (ECC), is one of the most prevalent diseases in children.
Supported by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Hong Kong launches the “Jockey Club Children Oral Health Project”. This project aims to screen Hong Kong’s preschool children for tooth decay, control existing cavities and to prevent further decay.

Dental check-up and silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution treatment
Teachers training
Oral health education to parents
