Survey to Understand the Consumer Analytics of Oral Hygiene Habits Related Products and Microeconomics of Dental Treatments

Abstract

Oral health is a crucial aspect of overall health and wellbeing. The fundamental goal of oral hygiene is to maintain a healthy, comfortable oral cavity in order to boost self- esteem, lessen bacterial activity in the mouth, and lower the risk of both local and systemic infection. It is important not only for maintaining health of teeth and gingivae in an individual but also for good and uneventful regeneration and healing of tissues, which one has undergone one or other dental treatments. Studies have revealed, though, that people sometimes exhibit poor dental hygiene habits. The purpose of this cross- sectional study is to analyse a sample population's oral health status, behaviour, and perceptions. Oral hygiene products include toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, dental picks, and tongue scrapers, which are used to keep the mouth healthy, prevent tooth decay, and freshen the breath. People's attitudes towards oral hygiene vary, with some placing a high value on it and practising it on a regular basis, while others may dismiss it as unnecessary and ignore it, resulting in a variety of dental disorders. Avoiding oral hygiene can result in a variety of dental problems, including cavities, gum disease, poor breath, and even tooth loss. Regular dental examinations, cleanings, fluoride usage, and restorative procedures such as fillings, crowns, and root canals are among the treatments available.
