Oral Hygiene Practices among People in Salem District | Journal of Pharmaceutical Research Internati

Oral hygiene is an important aspect of dental health and is considered a necessary field because it affects both the individual's oral and general health. Maintaining proper oral hygiene is critical, and it necessitates knowledge that should be imparted by a qualified health educator. Oral health entails not only proper brushing, but also frequent and regular dental visits, which aid in the early detection and diagnosis of both oral and general diseases. The purpose of this study was to identify the level of knowledge about oral hygiene and the need to raise awareness about it. A 9-question self-administered questionnaire was distributed, and the results were analysed. The current study found that the majority of people were aware of the importance of good oral hygiene, but that there were a lack of established dental clinics in urban areas. There was also a need to emphasise the importance of regular dental check-ups and raise awareness about the negative consequences of poor oral hygiene. The study found that the general public's understanding of the importance of good oral hygiene and dental check-ups needed to be improved.
