The main objective of conducting this survey is to compare oral hygiene between dental students and dental staff.: A self-constructed questionnaire collecting data for the survey was circulated among the participants (275 participants, out of which 210 were undergraduate students, 50 Interns, and 15 BDS staff members) via the Google forms platform. This questionnaire consisted of 11 multiple choice-type questions based on oral health status and oral hygiene maintaining habits. The questions were distributed among the participants and the responses were collected.: A number of 210 dental students as well as 50 interns and faculty members 15 were investigated. It was noted that staff members were more concerned about dental hygiene than students.: In conclusion, our study revealed that BDS Staff members are more conscious about their oral hygiene status and habits than interns and undergraduate students. Maintenance of oral hygiene is an important aspect in human life and important for overall health. Education plays an important role in realising these goals. Hence the, oral hygiene awareness programmes should be conducted regularly to promote oral health and healthy oral hygiene practices.
