Methods: This study period is from March 1 to 30, 2023. It was conducted using raw data from the National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES) by the Korea Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, and all household members aged 1 and 80 who meet the appropriate household members requirements in the sample survey were selected as subjects. The subjects of the study were 6,728 out of a total of 7,090 participants in the 8th 2021 National Health and Nutrition Survey, excluding 362 missing. 6,728 people were selected for treatment of gum disease, gender, tooth brushing for a day yesterday, tooth brushing timing, chewing problems related to oral health surveys, and gum disease. Results: Age of this study * When to brush: Of the total 6,728 post-snack patients, 6265 \"no\" and 319 \"yes\" showed that most of them did not brush their teeth after a snack. The x2 statistical value is 502.389 significance probability .000, and at the significance level of .05, age * brushing timing: There is a significant difference from age in brushing after snacks (p<.05). Conclusion: In the regression analysis of education level reclassification and tooth brushing period, the F statistics are 118.903, significance probability .000, whether or not to brush one day yesterday at the significance level of .05 (t=8.365, p=).000), when to brush: after a snack (t=2.989, p=.000), when to brush: before going to bed (t=12.214, p=.000), (adult) chewing problem (t=7.526, p=.000), whether there are complaints of copyright inconvenience (t=-5.643, p=.000), Treatment item: Treatment of gum disease (t=-4.119, p=.000) is significant. The total change in the education level reclassification code is explained by 136% (134% according to the correction coefficient).","PeriodicalId":518582,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Report","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140532837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These infections are frequently brought on by periapical abscesses, dental trauma, untreated dental caries (cavities), or consequences from dental operations. Poor oral hygiene practices and postponed dental treatment in children might raise the risk. Swelling, discomfort, fever, trouble swallowing, trismus (inability to open the mouth), and occasionally difficulty breathing or speaking are common symptoms in children with head and neck region infections. Clinical examination, patient history, and imaging tests like dental radiographs (X-rays) and CT scans to map out the extent and location of the infection are commonly used by paediatric dentists and healthcare professionals to identify these illnesses. To manage the illness, broad-spectrum antibiotics are frequently administered. These infections, if ignored, can result in potentially fatal consequences such as cellulitis, Ludwig's angina, mediastinitis, and sepsis.","PeriodicalId":518582,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dental Report","volume":"7 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140532760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
