Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the subjective oral health status and interest in oral health for elementary school students and parents in Mongolia, and to find out the influence of bidirectional oral health. For two weeks from February 2020, 300 questionnaires were distributed to parents of elementary schools in Kanul, Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, and 294 of them were used for final analysis. Subjects responded to self-report questionnaires such as demographic characteristics and oral health characteristics. It was found that the bidirectional influence of the subjective oral health status of children and parents (guardians) and interest in oral health had a statistically significant effect on each other. When the parent (guardian)'s subjective oral health status is good, the child's subjective oral health status is about 4.5 times higher in the bidirectional relationship. When parents (guardians) have high interest in oral health, their children's interest in oral health is found to be about twice as high in the bidirectional relationship. Therefore, school oral health education that can participate in a family unit rather than an individual student or parental unit, or a continuous and systematic government-level oral health promotion program intervention that can be implemented in the community should be considered.
