- Abstract
Although advances in oral illness preventive measures, tooth decay has recently approached epidemic levels and remains a major public health problem across the world. Because of their great frequency and profound societal effect, oral illnesses might be considered a public health concern. This paper discusses the role of oral health education in improving oral hygiene knowledge, awareness and practice, which is critical for the optimum oral health of young adults. Students' knowledge, awareness and practice of oral hygiene are the initial motivating factors for better oral health. In this regard, specific research is very essential. A contribution to the establishment of an educational program with a qualified goal that increases awareness among young adults may be made. With the implementation of successful oral health education programmes among university students, their knowledge can be improved in order to motivate them to adopt a positive attitude and practice toward oral hygiene.
