Overview

Cross-sectional survey evaluates oral health KAP among pregnant women in antenatal clinics, highlighting gaps.

Key Points

  • Moderate knowledge (62%) and positive attitude (70%) toward oral health seen in participants, revealing disparities in practices.
  • Only 40% of pregnant women reported good oral health practices, indicating significant potential for improvement.
  • Educational level and prior dental visits associated with better knowledge and practices, suggesting intervention areas.
  • Integration of oral health education into antenatal care is essential, as awareness and routine visits are lacking.
