Evaluation of Parents' Awareness and Satisfaction about Preventive Dental Care in Jordan

Aims: This study aims to evaluate parents' awareness and satisfaction regarding preventive dental care for their children, such as fluoride application, dental sealants, and routine dental recall visits in the Jordanian population. A cross - sectional questionnaire was provided for the parents of pediatric parent patients attending Royal Medical Services Hospital. Our study showed a high awareness of dental preventive measures among participants, with fluoride being the most known. Nevertheless, there is a significant possibility of enhancing public knowledge about all the effective dental preventive strategies, such as pit and fissure sealants, particularly among the population with less than high school education.
