Methods A questionnaire on-site survey was carried out of Hangzhou Normal non-professional oral 474 college students. Results Among the 474 college students, only 18.7% considered dental plague as the main cause for dental caries and periodontal disease. 8.4% and 15.5% thought it was because of dental floss and mouthwash respectively. Only 9% went to clinic regularly to clean teeth. When having toothache, those immediately went to a dentist accounting for only 33.3%.
