Brief summary: The study aims to measure the effectiveness of social media in raising parental oral health awareness.

Detailed description: Health Education is a key element in Health promotion. Oral health awareness has a pivotal role in community prevention programs. The methods used for health education have developed through the years to fit the population's needs and to cope with the technological revolution. Nowadays social media has become the easiest, fastest, and most acceptable portal for people. However the benefits of social media are huge for health communication, the shared information should be assessed and monitored for quality and reliability and the privacy of the users should be secured, up to our knowledge there is no reliable source for education on promoting oral health on the social media platform in our community, Although the traditional methods to educate parent like visiting the dentist are more common, Studies show that parents and children had little recollection of any preventive oral health conversations when visiting the dentist. we use oral health Information based on AAPD guidelines that we be provided on social media platforms and then measure the effectiveness of social media in raising parental oral awareness
