| Abstract: | Abstract The aim of the study is to assess the knowledge and awareness about infant oral health among pregnant women and mothers. In this study, a sum of 400 women, belonging different socio-economic status were selected of which 200 were housewives and 200 were employed mothers. A self- administered questionnaire was given comprising of questions related to proper feeding habits, correct age of eruption of first tooth, nocturnal bottle feeding. In this study, optimum feeding practice was seen only among 25% of the housewives and 15% of the working mothers. The use of finger to cleanse the oral cavity was prevalent among 66% of the housewives and 35% of the employed mothers. Only 33% of the housewives and 50% of the employed mothers had correct knowledge on the age of eruption of first tooth in the oral cavity. 65% of the housewives and 26% of the employed women felt that dental problems are of less importance than other health problems. Only 31% of the housewives and 31% of the employed mothers were aware that dental caries is a transmissible disease. Hence, there is a significant lack of awareness among both the groups. There is an increased need of awareness among both the groups. |
