Abstract
Objectives.This study aimed examine aspects of oral health behaviors, snack intake and Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) index scores among children in the community using community children’s centers.
Methods.A survey and oral examinations were conducted for 377 children in community children’s centers in Incheon. The collected data were analyzed with a chi-square test, a t-test and one way analysis of variance.
Results.About 42.4% of the subjects brushed their teeth three times a day; the rate was higher among female than male students (p＜0.05). As for toothbrushing methods, 1st to 3rd graders mostly used the scrub method or other methods for one minute; 4th to 6th graders mostly used an up and down method or a rolling method (p＜0.01). As for snack intake, 1st to 3rd graders drank milk, while 4th to 6th graders mostly had cookies (p＜0.01). There were differences in kinds of snack by geographic regions and by the presence of siblings (p＜0.01). The mean Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP) index was 3.43±7.21. There were no differences in the PHP index regarding sociodemographics, oral health behaviors or snake intakes.
Conclusions.It is necessary to create a physical environment in which children can brush teeth regularly. Oral health education should be focused on healthy eating habits and tooth-brushing methods among children in community children’s centers. Oral health education should be emphasized constantly.
