RESEARCH ON THE ATTITUDE OF PEOPLE TO THE PREVENTION OF DENTAL DISEASES

Аннотация

The study of the characteristics of a person's psychological properties that influence his motivation to maintain his health is important and relevant. A clinical examination of patients, a questionnaire including questions about behavioral habits, self-assessment of the condition of periodontal tissues, and a psychological questionnaire were conducted. Patients with a high level of perfectionism rate their oral cavity condition low due to high demands on themselves, fear of not meeting high internal standards, and the desire to be better than others. They strive for perfection and therefore carefully perform their work, while they may not pay attention to the state of health and oral hygiene.
