Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to conduct a social research on oral hygiene behaviour in primary school. In order to achieve our aim we designed our research using quantitative approach and conducting specialized social survey, using a sample of 1016 children from 11 different schools Timis County. Designed on three main dimensions of oral hygiene behaviour: information and knowledge practice of oral hygiene and relation with the dentist, our research findings provides strong support in order to understand the significant differences of dental health behaviour across gender, class level, and rural/urban area. In the same time, our results offer important elements of evidence-based data support required for conducting efficient oral health prevention programme and public policy.
