| Abstract: | Oral health is significantly related to oral hygiene behaviors and their knowledge. Poor oral hygiene can have a profound effect on the quality of life. Oral hygiene practices are those measures taken to ensure that the mouth is clean. Oral hygiene practices are essential for the prevention of dental and other associated systemic diseases. The purpose of the study was to evaluate and analyze the oral hygiene condition and practices among the patients who visited dental college hospital. A description based cross-sectional survey was carried out on 100 patients. A closed ended questionnaire consisting of 16 questions was made and distributed among the patients to evaluate their knowledge, awareness, practices associated with oral hygiene. The results of the present study showed that tooth brush and toothpaste (94%) were the main products used for the maintenance of oral hygiene. Only 6% of the people used other oral hygiene aids. The study showed that more than half of the respondents had good knowledge and positive attitude towards oral hygiene to maintain proper oral health, but their practices toward oral hygiene remain poor so education of people for the importance of oral hygiene maintenance, proper selection and method of use of oral hygiene products is needed. |
