Peer Review of “Mothers’ Knowledge of and Practices Toward Oral Hygiene of Children Aged 5-9 Years in Bangladesh: Cross-Sectional Study”

Peer Review of “Mothers’ Knowledge of and Practices Toward Oral Hygiene of Children Aged 5-9 Years in Bangladesh: Cross-Sectional Study”

This is the peer-review report for “Mothers’ Knowledge of and Practices Toward Oral Hygiene of Children Aged 5-9 Years in Bangladesh: Cross-Sectional Study.” There were a lot of grammatical issues and typographical errors. The manuscript [1] needs to be edited for grammar and syntax. It is also obvious that the manuscript was not proofread adequately. A word is missing in the first sentence. Authors should proofread the manuscript. Keywords: Dhaka is a more appropriate keyword than Bangladesh.
