Abstract

Oral Health Dental Care.
Assessing oral health knowledge, attitudes and behaviors provide baseline information for developing health education programs. However, knowledge does not always translate into attitudes and practices and there is disconnect between them. Purpose: This study looked at oral health knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and dental care attendance among adult rural Dominicans, measured the caries prevalence and found the association of knowledge with the study variables.
