Abstract: This study investigates the attitudes and practices towards oral health among health care and non - health care students. Using an online questionnaire, we collected data from students aged 16 - 20 years. Our findings reveal that health care students generally have better oral health practices and attitudes compared to their non - health care counterparts. However, there are areas where non - health care students demonstrated better awareness, such as the time taken for teeth cleaning and the importance of rinsing the mouth after eating. The study underscores the need for improved oral health education among all students, regardless of their field of study.
