The aim of this study is to describe&nbsp;<span class="highlight">self-reported</span>&nbsp;<span class="highlight">oral</span>&nbsp;health,&nbsp;<span class="highlight">oral</span>&nbsp;<span class="highlight">hygiene</span>&nbsp;<span class="highlight">habits</span>, frequency of visits to a dentist and factors associated with<span class="highlight">dental</span>&nbsp;<span class="highlight">attendance</span>&nbsp;among pregnant&nbsp;<span class="highlight">women</span>&nbsp;at a&nbsp;<span class="highlight">North</span>&nbsp;<span class="highlight">London</span>&nbsp;Hospital, the majority of whom are immigrants.</span></p><h4 style="margin: 0px 0.25em 0px 0px; text-transform: uppercase; float: left; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">MATERIALS AND METHODS:</span></h4><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">A questionnaire designed by the authors was completed by postnatal&nbsp;<span class="highlight">women</span>&nbsp;within 3 days of delivery. Data collected included past&nbsp;<span class="highlight">dental</span>&nbsp;<span class="highlight">attendance</span>, reasons for&nbsp;<span class="highlight">attendance</span>&nbsp;and information about age, parity and socio-economic group.</span></p><h4 style="margin: 0px 0.25em 0px 0px; text-transform: uppercase; float: left; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">RESULTS:</span></h4><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In total, 206&nbsp;<span class="highlight">women</span>&nbsp;completed the questionnaires within 3 days of delivery; 74.2% of the mothers were not born in the UK and 38.3% were Black African. The mean age of was 28.19 +/- 6.07 years. The majority reported good&nbsp;<span class="highlight">oral</span>&nbsp;<span class="highlight">hygiene</span><span class="highlight">habits</span>&nbsp;such as brushing their teeth twice a day (73.7%) and using mouthwash (51%). However, their&nbsp;<span class="highlight">dental</span>&nbsp;<span class="highlight">attendance</span>&nbsp;was poor and the average time since their last visit to a dentist was 1.8 +/- 1.61 years. Over a third of the&nbsp;<span class="highlight">women</span>&nbsp;questioned did not know about the availability of free&nbsp;<span class="highlight">dental</span>&nbsp;care during&nbsp;<span class="highlight">pregnancy</span>&nbsp;and for 12 months after; 33% visited a dentist in&nbsp;<span class="highlight">pregnancy</span>and half of them needed and received treatment; 15% of mothers had more than one&nbsp;<span class="highlight">pregnancy</span>&nbsp;and yet were still unaware of free&nbsp;<span class="highlight">dental</span>&nbsp;care provided during&nbsp;<span class="highlight">pregnancy</span>&nbsp;and 12 months after birth. Only 36% of questioned&nbsp;<span class="highlight">women</span>&nbsp;regularly visited a dentist.&nbsp;<span class="highlight">Pregnancy</span>&nbsp;did little to change their&nbsp;<span class="highlight">attitudes</span>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<span class="highlight">dental</span>&nbsp;care. There appears no difference in&nbsp;<span class="highlight">attitudes</span>&nbsp;to&nbsp;<span class="highlight">dental</span>&nbsp;care between&nbsp;<span class="highlight">immigrant</span>&nbsp;and British born pregnant&nbsp;<span class="highlight">women</span>.</span></p><h4 style="margin: 0px 0.25em 0px 0px; text-transform: uppercase; float: left; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">CONCLUSION:</span></h4><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.5em; line-height: 17.999801635742188px;"><span style="font-size: 8pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Efforts to improve the uptake of&nbsp;<span class="highlight">dental</span>&nbsp;care should be directed towards&nbsp;<span class="highlight">immigrant</span>&nbsp;groups in order to promote better maternal health. Further research is required into the provision of&nbsp;<span class="highlight">dental</span>&nbsp;care during&nbsp;<span class="highlight">pregnancy</span>, as the high level of non-<span class="highlight">attendance</span>&nbsp;demonstrated by mothers is undesirable.</span></span></p> |
