About

Children with CKD are at higher risk for poor oral health28 due to factors such as compromised immunity, medication side effects, and dietary restrictions. Poor oral health can lead to pain, infection, and difficulties in eating and speaking, which in turn negatively affects their quality of life. This study is designed to address this gap by exploring how an oral health educational program could improve the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in this group.
