Use and Practice of Self-Medication for Oral Health Issues in Adults

Zahir Abdullah

The purpose of this study was to look into how self-medication for oral health issues is used by people at the University Dental Hospital in Sharjah (UDHS). The types, lengths, and sources of self-medication, as well as the reasons for visits, were noted. Adult patients at UDHS participated in this cross-sectional study. 566 people in all were enlisted using previously established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Self-administered closed-ended questionnaires were used to gather data, and SPSS software version was used to analyse the data. Out of 566 respondents, 400 (70.7%) admitted to using self-medication. The plurality (46%) of people who self-medicated for oral health issues had higher education, despite their line of work was unrelated to oral health, and the average age was 26.9 year.
