Exploring Proximal and Distal Influences on Oral Pain and Oral Health in Saudi Arabia: Key Insights for Dental Professionals

Posted: December 20, 2024
This retrospective study in Saudi Arabia explored the relationship between proximal and distal influences on oral pain (OP) and self-rated oral health (SROH). Factors like tooth brushing frequency, dental visits, sweet and soft drink consumption, and smoking were found to impact OP and SROH differently across age groups. Higher education and household income directly and indirectly affected oral health outcomes. Access to oral health services played a crucial role in overall oral health status. The study provides valuable insights for dental professionals to tailor preventive strategies and interventions based on individual influences.
