Abstract

Relevance. Oral health in children largely depends on parental involvement and the formation of adequate oral care skills. Parental awareness of oral disease prevention and adherence to the recommendation of pediatric dentists or dental hygienists are paramount for dental disease onset. Therefore, the assessment of parental knowledge about oral prevention is relevant.Aim. To evaluate the oral health education of parents of children under seven y.o. on oral disease prevention.Materials and methods. The study anonymously surveyed 250 parents of children under seven y.o., living in Barnaul. The survey in Google Forms included questions about parental awareness of dental diseases, the frequency of dental visits, parental knowledge of the child's home oral care and the child's diet. The study results were statistically processed using the MS Excel 2007 program.Results. The survey of Barnaul parents of children under seven demonstrated that 50% of the children were breastfed, and almost no one used dairy products as the main drink. Despite the knowledge about the importance of caries treatment in children, most parents (68%) visit a dentist when dental disease symptoms appear. The dentist is not always the principal source of information about dental diseases in children and their prevention. The parents selected oral hygiene products and items independently in most cases, without considering the child's individual dental status characteristics. Some parents believe that they may skip brushing their primary teeth brushing at all.Conclusion. The results evidence the need to increase parental knowledge about dental disease prevention in children.
七岁以下儿童预防口腔疾病的家长知识
的相关性。儿童的口腔健康在很大程度上取决于父母的参与和适当口腔护理技能的形成。父母对预防口腔疾病的意识和对儿科牙医或牙科保健师的建议的依从性对牙病的发病至关重要。因此,评估家长的口腔预防知识是有意义的。目的评价7岁以下儿童家长对预防口腔疾病的口腔健康教育情况。材料和方法。这项研究匿名调查了住在巴尔瑙尔的250名7岁以下儿童的父母。这项在谷歌表格上进行的调查包括父母对牙齿疾病的认识、看牙医的频率、父母对孩子家庭口腔护理的了解以及孩子的饮食习惯。使用MS Excel 2007程序对研究结果进行统计处理。Barnaul对7岁以下儿童父母的调查表明,50%的儿童是母乳喂养的,几乎没有人将乳制品作为主要饮料。尽管了解儿童龋齿治疗的重要性,但大多数家长(68%)在出现牙病症状时去看牙医。牙医并不总是儿童牙病及其预防信息的主要来源。在大多数情况下,父母独立选择口腔卫生产品和用品,而不考虑孩子的个体牙齿状况特征。一些家长认为他们可能根本不刷乳牙。研究结果表明,有必要提高家长对儿童牙病预防的认识。
