The Association between Parents’ Oral Examination and Dental Clinic Use and Their Children’s Oral Examination and Dental Clinic Use

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the association between parents’ oral examination and dental clinic use and their children’s oral examination and dental clinic use and suggest parents’ roles in improving oral health of their children.
Methods: The data concerning elementary and secondary school students aged between 7 and 18 who had a parent or parents were selected among those from the 2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and the data from 572 respondents were finally analyzed, with the exception of missing data. IDs of the selected children were matched with those of their parents.
Results: A total of 88.9% of the children whose father was a dental clinic user were dental clinic users (p=0.001) and 89.8% of those whose mother was a dental clinic user were dental clinic users (p=0.002). A total of 96.9% of the children whose single mother was in her thirties were slightly more likely to use a dental clinic (p=0.021).
Conclusion: The more likely parents were to use a dental clinic, the more likely their children were to use a dental clinic because parents’ good knowledge and awareness of dental and oral care makes it easier for their children to use a dental clinic.
It is however necessary to conduct institutional research on how to make it easy for single parents to take oral examination and use a dental clinic so that their children can benefit from oral examination and dental clinic use.
