title: [Dental self care of the dentate Dutch population: oral hygiene].
abstract: This paper is part of a series on national oral health survey in The Netherlands (LEOT-project). It presents the results as for the oral hygiene behavior and its determinants of the dentate Dutch population. Nearly all dentate Dutch people (97.5%) reports to clean their teeth with an average of nearly two times a day. The use of other cleaning means is not very common. There is a fair amount of knowledge about dental hygiene. The great majority (about 85%) indicates that toothbrushing for them is an automated behavior, a habit.
