Moreover, merely 9.3% had undergone routine dental check\u2010ups before pregnancy. In terms of daily oral hygiene, 87.2% reported brushing at least twice daily, yet the proportions incorporating flossing (17.8%) and gargling (43.7%) were considerably lower. Multivariate analysis showed that older age, urban residency, nulliparity, higher education and dental insurance were factors potentially associated with better oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices (all\n                      <jats:italic>p\u00a0<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt;\u00a00.05).
