Abstract: Visits to oral healthcare facilities serve as a solution to address existing oral health problems. Before making such visits, individuals typically acquire various types of information related to their health issues and the facilities where these issues can be treated. This information in the form of knowledge obtained from various sources, forms the basis for individuals to seek help from healthcare facilities in resolving their health problems. This study aimed to examine the influence of the level of oral health knowledge among Maen village residents on their visits to oral health care facilities. This was a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. Samples consisted of 88 individuals selected through stratified-random sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that the majority of respondents had good oral health knowledge (n=53; 60.2%), while most had low frequency of visits to oral healthcare facilities (n=61; 69.3%). The Fisher’s exact test showed a significant correlation between good knowledge of oral health with the frequency of visits to healthcare facilities (Exact Sig.2-sided and Exact Sig.1-sided <0.05). In conclusion, the level of oral health knowledge among the Maen village residents shows a relationship with the frequency of visits to healthcare facilities. The majority of them have good oral health knowledge but a low rate of visits to healthcare facilities. The factors affecting the low rate of visits include limited availability of time and access to healthcare services.
