The twin pairs will also receive guidance on healthy sugar consumption and oral hygiene habits, as the first intervention among the dental interventions received. For the baseline assessment, each participant answered a questionnaire about their diet the day before and about oral hygiene, in addition to demonstrating how they perform it. Thus, the cognitive behavioral theory was applied, so that the participant can record the goals achieved weekly and monthly.
