Summary
This study looked at how aware pregnant women in Norway are about oral health and how their attitudes affect cavity risk. Researchers gave 97 women information on dental care to see if it improved their oral bacteria and reduced cavities. The study aimed to understand if better guidance during pregnancy can lead to healthier teeth.
