Abstract

Self medication was leading cause of failure to improve dental status of study population. Dental treatment was unmet due to this reason. Dental caries progressing to pain and difficulty in chewing food and overall deterioration in quality of life among the participants may be attributed to lack of awareness and practices regarding use of dental floss and mouthwash. Focus should be laid on formulating and implementing oral health promotion programs that aim to provide accessible and economic oral health services in rural and urban areas. This will motivate the patients with oral diseases to get treatment done by dental specialists rather than opting for self medication.
