Abstract
Oral health is one of the most important factors in the general well-being of individuals
and their quality of life. Nurses are important role players in health promotion and
student nurses have a significant role in oral care promotion. Student nurses should
be equipped with knowledge and skills to take care of their own oral health and
promote oral health in the communities. The aim of this study was to determine student
nurses’ knowledge, attitude towards their own oral care and patient’s oral care, and
student nurses’ practices regarding oral health.
