Abstract
Digitization is a strategy for adapting common activities to a virtual environment, in which stimulation and design techniques can be applied to improve the results obtained when performing these activities. Video games allow people to participate in digital activities, starting from going through a stage to perform certain tasks to be satisfied with the activity performed. The development of video games in recent years has made it easier to assimilate knowledge that was previously difficult to acquire, while at the same time increasing the permanence of knowledge in people’s memory. The importance of having a mobile device today can be harnessed to transmit through its applications, knowledge and customs that have lost relevance. One of them is dental health correctly practiced, oral pathologies are conditions that develop over time, due to the little importance that has been given to dental health care since childhood has led to many pathologies in adult patients. However, thanks to the application of modern entertainment media such as video games, it has been possible to create a playful environment in which children can play and learn the correct method for the care of their oral health, a fundamental basis for preventing future oral pathologies.
