Abstract
Oral health plays a crucial role in overall well-being, yet many children suffer from preventable dental diseases due to inadequate hygiene practices. School-based oral hygiene education programs have been implemented globally to address this issue, aiming to instill proper oral care habits from a young age. This study explores the long-term benefits of school-based oral hygiene education on key oral health indicators, including cavity prevalence, gum health, oral hygiene behavior, and overall dental awareness. Through a review of existing literature and analysis of case studies, the research highlights the effectiveness of early intervention in reducing dental caries, promoting consistent brushing and flossing habits, and fostering positive attitudes toward dental care. The findings emphasize the need for integrating sustained oral health education into school curricula to ensure long-term improvements in oral hygiene and overall health outcomes.
