The study looked at the oral health of preschool children and Anganwadi workers in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. They found that many children had dental cavities and poor oral hygiene habits. The workers from lower socioeconomic backgrounds had worse oral health. The study suggests that targeted interventions and preventive measures are needed to improve oral health in this population.
