Abstract This study aimed to describe factors related to the oral hygiene products consumption and preference by health care providers students. It was a cross-sectional study conducted through a self-administered questionnaire with 307 students of Dentistry, Biomedicine and Physical Education. It was found that 63.5% are used to looking at inserts, 49.8% preferred to shop for at the drugstore and 32.9% bought a toothbrush monthly. Regarding the factors involved in the purchase, the main ones were indicated by dental surgeon for toothbrush (43.6%), brand for dental floss (26.4%) and toothpaste (37.5%). Colgate® and Oral-B®, respectively, were the most preferred brands for toothbrush, dental floss and toothpaste. Regarding the consumption trend as a function of monthly family income, it was found that the most important factor for the dental brush purchase was the indication of the dental surgeon, whereas the brand was the main one involved in the purchase of dental floss and toothpaste. The results suggest that both the professional indication and the brand and price perception are important factors involved in the oral hygiene products consumption by the students evaluated.

“…Healthcare expenditure in developing and low-income nations relies primarily on OOP expenditure. [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 ] OOP expenditure on oral care is any direct spending by households, including payment done on preventive measures for oral diseases and treatment of already existing oral health problems.

Hence, this present household study was undertaken to estimate oral healthcare-related expenditure among people residing in Kerala.…”

Background: Oral health is an effective unit of general health. Dental caries and periodontal diseases are considered to be the major diseases present in modern times. Over the decades, the idea of maintaining effective oral health and interest in oral health prevention measures has diminished; thus increasing the cost of health care. Aims and Objectives: This study aims to estimate the household expenditure on oral health care among people residing in Kerala, India. Materials and Methods: Five hundred participants were surveyed who were residents of Kerala. A self-administered questionnaire that was tested and validated was used to assess the cost of oral health care. Data collected were analyzed using software for IBM SPSS version 23 for Windows (New York, USA). Results: Of 500 people, 37% are men and 63% are women. 100% of people reported using a toothbrush as an oral hygiene aid. 65% of households reported changing toothbrush for 3 months or more, while 35% of families changed for 1 month or less. Significant statistically weak correlation was observed when education, employment, and income were compared to the annual expenditure on dental care. Furthermore, there has been a moderately strong correlation observed between the socio-economic status of families and the annual cost of dental care. Conclusion: People should be aware of preventive oral hygiene aids, and appropriate policies should be formulated which will ultimately result in decreased expenditure on a curative aspect of the dental disease.
