Objectives: The purpose of the study is to investigate the parents' toothbrushing guidance on the children by operation of toothbrushing room.
Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 790 parents of first, fourth, and sixth grade students of J elementary school in Changwon from June 1 to 30, 2013. J elementary school did not have toothbrushing room. The questionnaire consisted of general characteristics of the subjects (3 items), toothbrushing room operation (3 items), and toothbrushing (7 items). Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 program.
Results: Parents of high school diploma demanded the establishment of toothbrushing room (p＜0.05) and parents having undergraduate course tended to want the operation of toothbrushing room (p＜0.05) and children's dental health care (p＜0.05). Parents within forties tended to have higher concern for their children's toothbrushing (p＜0.05) and toothbrushing room operation (p＜0.05). They tried to have much interest in their dental health checkup and toothbrushing frequency.
Conclusions: The establishment and operation of toothbrushing room is very important to elementary school children. The toothbrushing guidance by parents will enhance children's dental health knowledge and maintain lifelong dental healthcare for the children.
