Oral health literacy (OHL) and its effect on hygiene practices among 300 adults in rural Bareilly, India is assessed. The average OHL score was 12.6 ± 3.5 out of 20, indicating moderate literacy. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.61, p < 0.001) was found between OHL and good oral hygiene practices. Only 34% brushed twice daily and 19% used mouthwash regularly. Higher OHL was significantly linked to regular dental check-ups (p = 0.002), highlighting the need for better oral health education in rural areas in India.
