Oral health knowledge, attitude and behavior among students of age 10 –18years old attending Jenadriyah festival Riyadh; a cross-sectional study

Conclusion: This population-based study among 15–18-year old students found that around two third of Saudi youth brush their teeth proportion which is similar to that reported among similar age groups 10years 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.
