The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of the drinking of college students to their dietary habits and toothbrushing behavior in some areas. It’s specifically meant to investigate the dietary habits, snack intake, toothbrushing method and toothbrushing frequency of college students and their length of toothbrush use in a bid to suggest some of the right directions for dietary habits and dietary control and facilitate research efforts about the right toothbrushing and oral care. The subjects in this study were 246 students in some regions, on whom a survey was
conducted. The collected data were analyzed with a SPSS 10.0 program. 58.5 percent of the students investigated had meals irregularly (p<.01), and 50 percent occasionally ate between meals. As for a favorite type of snack, 39 percent had a liking for crackers or biscuits. Regarding toothbrushing method, the largest group that accounted for 28 percent used a rolling method or rub method.
As to the average length of toothbrushing, 51.2 percent spent less than three minutes (p<.05).
