Abstract
Oral diseases are a serious global public health problem affecting more than 3.5 billion people, are among the most common diseases in the world, and carry serious medical and economic problems, substantially reducing the quality of life of those affected. Oral diseases undoubtedly represent a global public health problem, with particular concern about their growing prevalence in many countries, which is associated with broader social, economic, and commercial changes. The purpose of the study is to establish the level of hygienic education among schoolchildren undergoing orthodontic treatment in Aktobe. The design of the study is experimental and descriptive. The sample was gathered without pre-selection. It included children from 6 to 18 years old who were on dynamic observation, with a diagnosis of periodontal diseases. According to the data obtained, it was identified that 300 respondents aged 6 to 18 years took part in the survey, the average age of the respondents was 13.75 ± 1.38 years. The survey identified a low level of dental education in hygiene and oral care among children and a lack of motivation to maintain dental health. It is necessary to strengthen educational work with the involvement of dentists, teachers, and parents to increase the low level of knowledge on dental health and oral care among the interviewed schoolchildren.
