Abstract
Oral health knowledge generally dominate dental health practices. Getting correct oral health practices effectively improves oral health and prolongs tooth-life. Moreover, oral health education to change knowledge and practices about oral health has been an important part of oral health services for many years. The purpose of this study was to obtain baseline data for developing oral health programme to improve oral health status among workers exposed to acids in Korea. A questionnaire consisting of pretested 16 items was used to interview 953 acid-exposed workers. A multistage, stratified, cluster sampling method was used.
The results obtained and the conclusions discussed were as follows;
1. Ninety percent of respondents reported that sugar containing food was
cariogenic, but fifty-seven percent of them knew that fluoride were preventive
on caries. More education was needed in respect to the preventive effect of
fluoride on dental caries.
2. Eighty-three percent of respondents reported that poor oral hygiene habit induced periodontal disease, and seventy-nine percent of them knew that thorough tooth-brushing prevented periodontal disease.
3. Ninety-eight percent of responents reported that they brushed teeth everyday and the mean number of daily tooth brushing was 2.24.
4. Sixty-three percent of responedents reported that they had an experience that their pain induced by dental caries was treated in dentistry, thirty-one percent their pain induced by periodontal disease was treated in dentistry and twenty-eighty percent they received the scaling.
5. The level of practices on oral health except the daily tooth-brushing among workers was lower than that of the general public.
6. To correct inaccurate knowledge from mass media to accurate one, work-site
based oral health education programme should be developed.
7. To improve the oral health status among workers, work-site based incremental
oral health care programme should be developed.
8. Ninety-two percent of respondents reported that they supported indusry-based oral health care programme, and seventy-two perecent reported that they supported water fluoridation.
