The present study has verified the incidence of tooth decay in 287 children aged from 0 to 5 years old who had received early attention by the Bebê-Clínica of the Universidade Estadual de Londrina. Before the first appointment, the children had a high risk to develop caries, hence 88,81% of them had night milking habit and 81% were not used to dental hygiene after the last night milking, After their first appointment, due to orientation about night milking habit and dental hygiene, it was verified that the population studied presented low incidence of tooth decay in both baby bottle tooth decay (0%) and simple caries (2%). The results demonstrate the efficiency of early attention to promote the oral health at this age.
