From the results of the study it was concluded that a
difference in oral health related knowledge was found
between government and private school teachers. This
difference in knowledge level might be due to the difference
in education level between both types of school teachers.
The teachers responded positively to becoming involved
in the oral health education of the children, and they
can undoubtedly become the key persons in this activity.
However, if the school teachers are provided with proper
training, educational materials and support from dentists
experienced in public health, they can bring a sea change
in the knowledge, attitude and behavior of the students
of our country.
