To examine the demographic characteristics, oral health knowledge and practices of mothers of children who required the extraction of teeth under general anaesthesia.
Cross-sectional study using questionnaires completed at interview.
150 mothers of children age 5 years and under who had been referred for extraction of teeth under general anaesthesia.
Dental School, University of Wales College of Medicine.
Over three-quarters of mothers had finished their full-time education at or before the age of 16 years. Although generally well-informed about the causes of caries, mothers were less sure of preventative methods. There was a widespread ignorance of the causes and prevention of periodontal disease, with just under half of the sample being unable to identify any causative or preventive factors. 40% of the sample admitted to attending a dentist only when in pain or not at all.
调查需要在全身麻醉下拔牙的儿童的母亲的人口统计学特征、口腔健康知识及行为。
采用访谈时填写问卷的横断面研究。
150名5岁及以下儿童的母亲，这些儿童被转诊至威尔士大学医学院牙科学院进行全身麻醉下的拔牙手术。
超过四分之三的母亲在16岁或16岁之前完成了全日制教育。尽管母亲们大致了解龋齿的成因，但对预防方法的把握较小。对牙周病的成因和预防普遍缺乏了解，近半数样本无法识别任何致病因素或预防因素。40%的样本承认只有在疼痛时才去看牙医，或者根本不去看牙医。
