Oral Health Awareness, Attitudes and Dental Caries Risk in Norwegian Pregnant Women

This study focuses on the oral health of pregnant women in Norway. It aims to understand their awareness and attitudes towards dental care, and how these factors might influence the risk of dental caries (cavities) during pregnancy. The study suggests that a woman's oral health during pregnancy could be linked to her oral hygiene behaviors and practices. It also hypothesizes that pregnant women with a high level of oral health awareness and a positive attitude are more likely to visit dentists regularly and maintain better oral hygiene. The study further explores whether providing proper information and guidance on oral hygiene care during pregnancy can help improve the bacterial environment in the mouth and reduce the risk of dental caries.
