| Abstract: | AIM: A survey was set to evaluate the knowledge of night brushing and to spread awareness about night brushing to prevent various dental problems. OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the habit of brushing at night and motivate the local population to benefit from the healthy practice of night brushing. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 100 individuals belonging to the local population were asked to fill a questionnaire that was designed to assess the awareness as well as the oral hygiene methods followed by the individuals. RESULTS: 78% of the individuals were aware that brushing at night is essential for good oral hygiene. Only 32% brushed twice daily and 75% changed their tooth brush one in three months. 9% brushed their teeth for 3 minutes, while the rest brushed for less than 3 minutes. CONCLUSION: Even though the awareness about night brushing was fairly good among the local population, a majority of the subjects did not brush at night.
