“…In a study carried out in Lithuania, it was found that parental attitudes towards their children's oral health were significantly associated with positive parental oral health behavior [26]. Only 30% of mothers used tooth brush for their baby's mouth.…”

Aim: To assess the knowledge and oral health practices of a selected population of mothers in order to develop appropriate oral health promotion program for children in the area. Method: A cross sectional study was carried out among a convenient sample of mothers who attended two well-baby clinics-a tertiary and a primary health care centre in Lagos, Nigeria. A questionnaire requesting personal information, previous exposure to and source of oral health education (OHE), knowledge of oral health, diet and oral hygiene practices was administered. Results: There were 104 participants, aged 21 -46 years (mean 32.01 ± 4.85 years); 58.7% had received OHE, 23.1% from electronic media, 22.1% dentist and 9.6%, doctor or nurse. Only 44 (42.3%) had attended the dentist, 5 (4.8%) in <1 year and 10 (9.6%) within 1 -2 years. Most younger mothers, compared with older mothers had knowledge of fluoride (x 2 = 8.51, p = 0.014). Only 44 (42.3%) and 20 (19.2%) respectively believed the type of baby food and supplement affect the child's teeth. Conclusion: Participants in this study showed inadequate knowledge of preventive oral health care. Regular OHE is recommended for mothers at the well baby and immunization clinics where they can be easily reached by health professionals.

“…In dental health research, favorable attitudes regarding dental treatment were associated with the greatest number of preventive and restorative visits (27). Moreover, parental attitudes toward their children's oral health were significantly associated with their own oral health behavior and with understanding the importance of fostering oral hygiene skills in their children (11,28).…”

Modeling the theory of planned behavior for intention to improve oral health behaviors: the impact of attitudes, knowledge, and current behavior

et al. 2011

The aim of this study was to test the efficiency of an extended model of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in predicting intention to improve oral health behaviors. The participants in this cross-sectional study were 153 first-year medical students (mean age 20.16, 50 males and 103 females) who completed a questionnaire assessing intentions, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, oral health knowledge, and current oral hygiene behaviors. Attitudes toward oral health behaviors and perceived behavioral control contributed to the model for predicting intention, whereas subjective norms did not. Attitudes toward oral health behaviors were slightly more important than perceived behavioral control in predicting intention. Oral health knowledge significantly affected affective and cognitive attitudes, while current behavior was not a significant predictor of intention to improve oral health behavior. The model had a slightly better fit among females than among males, but was similar for home and professional dental health care. Our findings revealed that attitude, perceived behavioral control, and oral health knowledge are predictors of intention to improve oral health behaviors. These findings may help both dentists and dental hygienists in educating patients in oral health and changing patients' oral hygiene habits.

“…We found five observational studies using the Brazilian Research in Pediatric Dentistry and Integrated Clinic 2015, 15(1):345-360 TPB on the influence of the behavior of parents over their children until the age group of 5 years [12,[18][19][20][21]. The behavior and oral health conditions of parents typify the importance and value that they grant to having a good oral health.…”

“…Regarding the TPB, 14 cross-sectional studies and 5 prospective cohort studies were found aiming to assess associations between the constructs of the TPB and oral hygiene behaviors [6,9,[12][13][14][16][17][18][19][20][21][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. We also found one intervention study assessing the impact of an intervention using the TPB on the flossing behavior [10] and one qualitative study using the TPB to identify the predictors of intention of clinical and general practitioners in conducting the screening and control of oral cancer [15].…”

Objective: To identify and discuss the evidence on the use of two psychological theories in preventive oral health behaviors: the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the theory of Implementation Intentions (II). Material and Methods: We conducted a literature review from the keywords 'theory of planned behavior', 'oral health' and 'implementation intentions' and their equivalents in Portuguese, referring to the databases Bireme (BVS), PubMed (Medline version) and Scielo, from January 1991 to July 2015. After the selection of studies, they were divided into three groups according to their use in the field of oral health: a) use of TPB, b) use of II and c) those which used an association of both theories. Results: We recovered 159 articles on the topic. After analysis, 25 articles met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 21 used the TPB in oral health, three the theory of Intent Implementation in oral health and one used the two together (TPB and II) in oral health. We found that the TPB and II showed promising results both in terms of prediction of preventive behaviors and in the promotion of changes in preventive oral health behaviors. Conclusion: The evidence raised in this study showed that the TPB and II are theories that can help researchers / health professionals to predict and to change preventive oral health behaviors. However, additional research is needed to test their effectiveness in other oral health behaviors, age groups and longer follow-up times.
