Abstract
Two dental care practices[long dash]going to dentist for check ups and going frequently to dentist in the last five years[long dash]were found to be associated with a positive attitude toward fluoridation. Having a regular dentist, however, was not significantly associated with attitude toward fluoridation. It was further determined that going for check ups and times to dentist in last 5 years are significantly associated with fluoridation attitude only when persons have correct knowledge about fluoridation. When persons have only vague knowledge or when they have incorrect knowledge of fluoridation these 2 dental care variables do not relate significantly to attitude toward fluoridation.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
