ABSTRACT

A self-perpetuating cycle of poor health literacy and poor oral health knowledge and behavior affects approximately 30% people in most of the secondary school students in Offa local government area of Kwara state, most especially those from low-income groups and other at-risk populations such as those with addiction. Poor oral hygiene can result from lack of access to regular preventive dental appointments, lack of access to restorative care when dental diseases are treatable, and low oral health knowledge that leads to poor oral health self-care behaviors. In addition, patients’ dental anxiety can impede care, because highly anxious people often avoid dental Appointments. To address these issues, this inquiry examined oral health knowledge, attitudes toward oral health, and levels of dental anxiety among the secondary school students in Offa. Methods of data used in gathering information for this research work is strictly questionnaire, a total number of 50 questionnaires were distributed among the secondary school students in Offa local government area of Kwara State.
