Survey on Dental Caries Among Bangladeshi People

Abstract

One's dental health should be one's first priority, therefore it's important to be aware of common problems, get the care one needs, and understand all of one's available options. The study's major objective was to increase people's knowledge of dental caries prevention by illuminating the commonalities among the most common dental problems. Patients with dental caries who visited the busiest public dental facility in Bangladesh were surveyed. The study uncovered the causes of dental caries in addition to the daily habits of patients. The participants in this cross-sectional study were all adults (56.6% male and 43.1% female) between the ages of 18 and 40. Most incidences of dental caries can be traced back to improper brushing techniques (21.3%) and improper brushing frequency (46.8%). The study discovered that patients had many things in common, including a similar awareness of the need to switch toothpaste brands, a similar frequency of doctor visits, a similar smoking status, a similar diet, a similar income, a similar genetic identification, and similar medication use. Taking care of one's teeth and gums is beneficial to a person's overall health and well-being. Despite the seriousness, dental health issues are often disregarded in Bangladesh. We recommend that these records be used for patient health advocacy and programme creation.
