Oral Hygiene Practices, Knowledge, and Awareness of Periodontal Disease Among Pregnant Women Visiting the Antenatal Clinic at Korle‐Bu Teaching Hospital

Abstract

Although most participants demonstrated good brushing habits, flossing, mouthwash usage, and dental visits were suboptimal. The level of knowledge and awareness of periodontal disease was also found to be limited, with many pregnant women being unaware of its potential impact on pregnancy outcomes. No significant associations were found between oral hygiene practices, demographics, and knowledge of periodontal disease.
