Abstract
abstract A sociologic survey of dental care practices and related attitudes and knowledge was conducted on 2071 16‐ to 45‐year‐old Danes in three selected areas. The complete findings were published in 1971 in a Danish thesis; only the findings on the frequency of dental visits (in childhood and at present), toothbrushing habits, and the selfreported number of teeth are presented here in detail. Particular emphasis is placed on the marked relationship of these factors to socio‐economic status, the latter being determined by the respondents' education and occupation. Among the 35‐ to 45‐year‐olds, 84 % of the “high” SES group made regular dental visits, as opposed to 55% of the “middle” and 37 % of the “low” SES group. Similar trends were demonstrated in all age groups and for all the parameters investigated.
