AB - Objectives : The purpose of the study was to investigate self-reported oral health attitudes and behaviors among patients receiving scaling services and provide guidelines for developing preventive programs for dental disease. Methods : The survey was administered to a sample of 462 receiving voluntary scaling service in the practice lab in the department of dental hygiene at J health college.
Results : 1. Of all participants, 261(56.5%) reported that they received scaling services in the past. 134 of the women (62.6%) and 127 of the men (51.2%) received scaling services 2. Analysis of the regular scaling attendance rates showed that only 16.2% of all participants received routine scaling. 13.7% of the male participants and 19.2% of the female participants received scaling on a regular basis. 3. Participants commonly reported“self-motiva- tion”and“suggestion by others”(37.9% and 34.1%, respectively) as the main reasons for obtaining scaling ser- vices. 4.Themainreasonsfornotobtainingscalingserviceswere“Ididnotknowaboutscaling”(39.3%),“Idon’t feel it is necessary”(27.4%) and“because I am scared”(20.9%). More men (42.1%) than women (35%) reported that they did not know about scaling. 5. Of the total participants, 41.6% reported that they were concerned about oral health at a moderate level, and 30.3% reported that they were concerned about oral health at a high level. 6. Of the participants who responded“very concerned about oral health”and“extremely concerned about oral health”, the majority obtained scaling service (70.2% and 84.2%, respectively).
Conclusions : The study suggested that researchers and national health authorities should develop routine scal- ing, preventive dental care, and oral health programs for oral health promotion and disease prevention.
