There are relationships between the general educational level and the extent of dental health knowledge on the one hand, and between the dental health knowledge and the oral hygiene condition on the other hand. A higher educational level is associated with a better dental health knowledge and, in most cases, the latter is connected with a lower oral hygiene index. School education exerts a greater effect on the level of dental health knowledge than higher or technical education. The state of dental health education and information of the population is not sufficient. Merely 25% of the interviewed graduates and 10% of the individuals having gained a school-leaving certificate reached maximum scores though only some few and easy questions (with a choice of incorrect and correct answers) had been put to evaluate dental health knowledge.
一方面，总体教育水平与牙齿健康知识的掌握程度之间存在关联；另一方面，牙齿健康知识与口腔卫生状况之间也存在关联。较高的教育水平与较好的牙齿健康知识相关联，而且在大多数情况下，后者又与较低的口腔卫生指数相关。学校教育对牙齿健康知识水平的影响要大于高等教育或技术教育。民众的牙齿健康教育和信息状况并不充分。尽管在评估牙齿健康知识时只设置了一些简单的问题（有正确答案和错误答案可供选择），但只有25%的受访毕业生以及10%的获得离校证书的人取得了最高分。
