Abstract: This work is devoted to the problem of individual oral hygiene and the prevention of dental diseases among schoolchildren. The study reveals an insufficient level of sanitary and hygienic knowledge and skills among students, which contributes to an increase in the prevalence of dental diseases, especially among children and adolescents. A comparative analysis shows that schoolchildren from Myrza-Aki have higher rates of hygiene education compared to their peers from Daraut-Kurgan. This emphasizes the need to introduce dental disease prevention programs and regular health education activities in educational institutions. The work also examines modern and traditional methods of oral hygiene as part of comprehensive caries prevention. Particular attention is paid to the development of school dental programs that include the participation of a pediatric dentist and the introduction of innovative approaches to preventive care. The study results highlight the importance of improving hygiene knowledge and skills among schoolchildren to improve children's oral health.
