Relationship between Oral Symptoms Experience According to Dietary Habits of Korean Adolescents

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between adolescents dietary habits and oral symptom experiences based on the 16th(2020) Korea youth risk behavior online survey. Methods: The chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were performed to identify the correlation between oral symptom experiences and the other variables. Results: The more frequently consumed soft drinks, sweet drinks, and fast food, the more experienced oral symptoms. In addition, the fewer fruits and water intake, and the more education they received on dietary habits, the fewer oral symptoms experienced. Conclusions: Since it is very important to form the right dietary habits in adolescence, I think that oral health education related to diet can prevent oral diseases.
