Abstract
For the purpose of establishing basic data for developing appropriate strategies to improve oral health, a study was conducted to determine the knowledge, opinion and practices about dental caries of koreans. A questionnaire was used to
personally
interview 2,000 koreans 10 through 69 years of age. A multiple stratified random sampling method was used.
Overall, 69 percent of the respondents had heard about fluoride. Only 16 percent knew that some community water supplies in korea are fluoridated. Fifty-five percent of the respondents who knew about community water fluoridation learned the
informatioon
from television, whereas 28 percent read about it in a newspaper. Only two percent reported learning about fluoridation from a dentist.
Among those respondent who reported hearing about community water fluoridation, only 30 percent had precise information about its purpose. Female were more knowledgeable than males and older respondents were least knowledgeable.
Almost all(97%) reported brushing their teeth one or more times a day.
Based on these findings it is clear that health education and health promotion activities must be increased if the oral health of koreans is to improve substantially.
