"Some aspects of hygiene maintain health and prevent illness to keep our bodies healthy, such as tooth brushing and hand washing. Parents and kids hear fairly consistent recommendations about these health promotion practices at nearly every pediatrician's visit and dental appointment. Other aspects of hygiene are culturally bound.

Families decide, based on individual needs, cultural values, and personal preference, what choices are right for them.Someaspects of hygiene maintain health and prevent illness to keep our bodies healthy, such as tooth brushing and hand washing.
