Oral health care awareness levels according to the oral health education experience of some local adults

The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of perception of oral health care according to oral health education experience. For this study, 300 adults in the Busan area were surveyed for 3 months. In the case of oral health education in oral hygiene management, there were many cases of brushing before breakfast (p = 0.037) and correct brushing (p <0.001). The recognition level of oral hygiene products was also high, 2.92 points (p = 0.001). Among oral hygiene products, the use of interdental toothbrushes (p = 0.001) and tongue cleaners (p = 0.025) were more frequent. The experience of oral health education in fluoride perception was high (p = 0.043) and fluoride experience was high (p = 0.025). If you have experience of oral health education in both oral hygiene management and fluoride awareness, you will improve your awareness levels. By developing and systematically educating oral health education programs, awareness levels can be improved.
