Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify the oral health behaviors of the Sanitation Workers and to lay the basis for the policy direction for promoting industrial oral health. A total of 79 self - filling questionnaires were analyzed for Sanitation Workers in Gwangju Metropolitan City. As a result, oral health education experience was about 25% compared to 80% of scaling experience. Oral hygiene is related to academic background, type of employment, and number of years of work. Periodontal status was higher in 'high sensitivity' and 'gum edema' than high school education or higher. The higher the income and education, the more perceived periodontal status was 'normal' or 'worse'. Therefore, it is meaningful that we analyzed sanitation worker and it is necessary to take various efforts and countermeasures to improve the oral health of the industry by expanding the opportunities for oral health education by taking into consideration the Sanitation Workers and developing active and complex programs.
