Evaluating the effectiveness of digital oral health promotion on knowledge, self-check, and self-care practices of students at a Durban college, South Africa

Abstract

A novel concept in oral health is the use of digital healthcare communication tools in a primary preventative approach to address the enormous challenges posed by oral health disease burdens on limited health budgets. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a digital medium in enhancing students' oral health knowledge, self-checking, and self-care practices.
