Oral hygiene behavior was surveyed in June 1971 by interviews with a sample comprising 1063 persons drawn to cover the total Finnish population aged 15 years and over. The interview revealed that the frequency of brushing as reported by dentulous interviewees was distributed as follows: less than once a day (32%), once a day (25%) and more than once a day (43%). Six percent of the interviewees stated that they did not brush their teeth. Most commonly the brushing was performed either as the last thing before retiring for the night (67%) or immediately after waking up in the morning (47%). There was a strong positive correlation between high socioeconomic status and high frequency of toothbrushing. Freshening of the breath and mouth was the most common (55%) reason for brushing the teeth and forgetfulness was the most frequent reason for neglecting it (56%). The investigation showed tha the dental health behavior of the Finnish people with respect to brushing of the teeth has much room for improvement.
1971年6月，通过对1063名15岁及以上的芬兰人进行访谈，对口腔卫生行为进行了调查，该样本涵盖了芬兰全体该年龄段人口。访谈显示，无牙受访者报告的刷牙频率分布如下：每天少于一次（32%）、每天一次（25%）和每天多次（43%）。6%的受访者表示他们不刷牙。最常见的刷牙时间是晚上就寝前（67%）或早上醒来后立即（47%）。社会经济地位高与刷牙频率高之间存在很强的正相关。清洁口气是最常见的刷牙原因（55%），而忘记是最常见的不刷牙原因（56%）。调查表明，芬兰人在刷牙方面的口腔健康行为有很大的改进空间。
