Summary
This study tests whether different types of patient education—group classes, a website, or free dental hygiene samples—can improve drinking habits and oral care in people who have had bariatric surgery. Many patients face tooth decay and enamel erosion after surgery due to changes in diet and eating patterns. The trial will randomly assign 300 participants to one of three educational approaches and track their knowledge, drinking patterns, and self-reported oral health.
