“…The current study was carried out in order to evaluate the risk of periodontal diseases in relation to frequency of brushing among some population of Mardan. The study clearly indicated that poor oral hygiene results in increased risk of development and progression of periodontal diseases when compared to other studie0 [12][13][14] . The collected data would help in evaluating the concern of general public towards oral hygiene maintenance and periodontal diseases.…”

Aim: To analyze the co-relation between frequencies of tooth brushing as a periodontal risk assessment tool in a population. Study design: Cross Sectional Survey Place and duration of study: Bacha Khan Medical College, Mardan from 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2021. Methodology: Four hundred and eleven participants were enrolled. Data was collected by administering the study questionnaire including 14 items assessing risk factors for periodontal disease as well as their oral hygiene habits. Descriptive statistics were used for data summarization and presentation. Results: Approximately 34.3% of study participants claimed to brush twice daily and 61.6% once daily. Mean age was 22.1 years and majority of them females constituting 66.7%. 39.33% had a history of bleeding gums while 28.2% had swollen gums. 51% of the subjects reported brushing for less than 2 minutes duration. 67% participants of population were of upper middle socioeconomic status.

Background The physiological changes that occur during pregnancy make women more susceptible to oral diseases. The oral health of pregnant women is closely associated with the health of their new-borns. This cross-sectional survey aimed to evaluate the oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of pregnant women in South China. Methods From June 2016 to June 2017, pregnant women visiting the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University and Hospital of Stomatology, Guangxi Medical University were administered a cross-sectional survey on oral health. Results In the survey, more than 90% acknowledged the importance of brushing and gargling, while approximately half were aware of the benefits of fluoride (48.36%) and pit and fissure sealant (50.29%). Older women residing in local towns, who had higher levels of education and income, and who possessed medical insurance covering dental care, demonstrated better oral health knowledge in various areas (all P < 0.05). Only 9.28% underwent regular oral check-ups before pregnancy. The primary reason cited for refusing oral check-ups before pregnancy were the lack of dental issues (51.84%) and insufficient time (30.56%). In addition, a large proportion (87.23%) of pregnant women brushed their teeth at least twice a day, while some also flossed (17.79%) and gargled (43.71%) to maintain their oral hygiene.Most pregnant women obtained oral health information from books and newspapers (50.10%), online media (48.55%), and medical professionals (45.65%). Conclusions In conclusion, most pregnant women demonstrated good KAP in regard to general oral health. However, several influencing factors, such as age, residency, education level, household income, and medical insurance might affect the KAP of pregnant women concerning their oral health.

ObjectivesThe present study aimed to assess the association between family routines and dental caries and self-rated oral health status.MethodsData from the 2020–2021 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) completed at United States were used. Our outcome variables were self-reported dental caries (yes/no) and poor oral health condition (yes/no). Our independent variables were related to family routines: (1) Going to bed at the same time (yes/no); (2) Days having dinner together (0–7days); (3) Hours spent in front of the TV, computer, cell phone or other electronic devices (screen time); and (4) adequate sleep (yes/no). We used socioeconomic factors, health insurance coverage, family structure and neighborhood characteristics as covariates. Univariate and multiple logistic regression were used to analyze the data.ResultsFor the dental caries outcome, children with regular bedtimes (AOR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.58–0.79), more frequent family dinners (AOR = 0.90, 95% CI: 0.85–0.96), and supportive neighborhoods (AOR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.78–0.99) were less likely to report dental caries. Increased screen time (AOR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.04–1.15) was associated with higher self-reported dental caries. For oral health status, children with regular bedtimes, (AOR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.48–0.75), supportive neighborhoods (AOR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.68–0.97), and with more neighborhood amenities (AOR = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.88–1.00) reported better health. More screen time (AOR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.02–1.21) and poor neighborhood conditions (AOR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.02–1.26) correlated with poor oral health.ConclusionsFindings from this study indicate that family routines play a significant role in children's oral health. Future research should focus on interdisciplinary family- and community-level interventions that are tailored to support healthy habits and address the needs of families.
