Oral health status of Egyptian mothers and their preschool children: association of mother’s oral health literacy and marital satisfaction- a cross-sectional study

Within our limitations, this work showed for the first time that there is a possible association between MS and oral health status of mothers and their preschool children. Further, this work unexpectedly showed a positive relation between A REALD-30 and DMFTs implying that REALD-30 alone would not be enough and is suggested to be used with other tools to assess OHL levels. Further long-term studies are needed to clarify how literacy and marital status affect oral health.
