Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: More and more private dental insurance products are becoming available in Korea, but little is known about how well purchasers of these products understand them.
Methods: Some adults conducted a survey to check their oral health knowledge according to whether they joined for private dental health insurance.
Results: Adults enrolled in private dental insurance have high levels of knowledge and understanding about oral health. Participants¡¯ knowledge of oral health positively correlated with their understanding of oral health information (r=.408, p<0.01).
Conclusions: Education targeted at improving individuals¡¯ understanding of oral health should be strengthened in the future, as patients¡¯ general knowledge of oral health supports the prevention and treatment of oral disease.
