Overview

Cross-sectional study finds links between mothers' education, sense of coherence, and children's oral health.

Key Points

  • Mothers' education and sense of coherence negatively correlated with children's dental caries status.
  • Child dental caries prevalence was 32.2%, contributing significantly to the total dmft score.
  • Mothers' demographic variables and social support showed significant correlation with children's oral health behavior.
  • Higher comprehension in sense of coherence linked to improved oral health outcomes for children.
