Brief Summary
Dental caries remains a significant global public health issue, particularly affecting children's health, development, and well-being, with inadequate knowledge, attitudes, and practices around oral health exacerbating these impacts. To address this, a cluster randomized controlled trial will be conducted in four primary schools in Al Lith City, Saudi Arabia, targeting children aged 10 to 11 years. The intervention involves interactive, classroom-based educational sessions led by a dental care professional, supplemented by take-home materials, focusing first on enhancing knowledge and attitudes, and then on developing behavioral skills for improved oral hygiene and eating habits. Participants' knowledge, attitudes, and practices will be assessed via questionnaires before, immediately after, and six months post-intervention, with data analyzed using SPSS through descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, One Way-ANOVA, and Generalized Estimating Equations. The study expects that school-based oral health education will significantly improve children's oral health knowledge and certain hygiene behaviors, as well as positively influence eating habits and patterns.
