Oral Health Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior among Students of Age 10-18 years old Attending Jenadriyah Festival Riyadh; a Cross-sectional Study

Conclusion: This population-based study among 15 to 18-year old students found that around two third of Saudi youth brush their teeth. A proportion which is similar to that reported among similar age groups 10 years ago. Through this study we recommended that evidenced-based effective dental awareness programs are needed in order to improve dental-related practice among that age group. Evaluations of ongoing campaigns in schools are needed to better understand factors that can facilitate translating improved knowledge and attitudes into changing practice.
