These diseases are a problem for public health, due to the high cost of control and their management, that is why it is necessary to carry out preventive activities to reverse the current situation. Although measures have been taken by the government, they have not been successful, nor have they been given the necessary follow-up to reduce its incidence. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the causes that indicate the lack of education and prevention of health and oral hygiene at an early age.
