There are a lot of cases especially in Africa where tooth decay is so
common.What can we do in order to prevent the occurrence of this at an
early child stage?

1. Provide tools (toothbrush, toothpaste) and training for efficient
oral hygiene.
2. Reduce the amount of fermentable sugars in children's diet.

Wasn't going to respond but since you did first....

The first statement is like saying there is alot of cases
of tooth decay in South America, or Asia, or Europe...
What can we do ?

Ludicrous.
Not your answer, but the original question.

Come to think about it, you don't need to go to Africa to see decay.
You can come where I practice and witness caries at a massive scale
from a very young age!
