Parental Education From Pregnancy To Birth: a Questionnaire-based Study on Promoting Oral Health and the Prevalence of Habits in Childhood Compared with Socioeconomic Factors.
The findings highlight key factors influencing daily habits and preventing dental diseases in children. Socioeconomic conditions influence choices related to health, diet, and prevention. The study provides a valuable overview of family practices and potential areas for improvement in children's oral health. This study emphasises the importance of parental education in oral health prevention. The findings suggest that while breastfeeding is common, there is a need to improve the use of fluoride toothpaste and increase awareness of occlusal sealants to promote more conscious and informed health management from early childhood. Further research is needed to explore strategies for enhancing parental knowledge and promoting better oral health outcomes for children.
