Manual toothbrushes are more commonly used than electric toothbrushes in all three groups. More MBBS students believed that electric toothbrushes were better. Flossing proved unpopular. Toothpicks were the preferred interdental aid. Few students use water flossers. Mouthwashes are only used when needed. Most respondents were nonsmokers, but more BDS students smoked.
