Dental caries prevalence was 75.1%, indicating a significant oral health issue despite high socioeconomic status.
Only 24.4% of parents provided fluoride supplementation for their children, showing low engagement with preventive measures.

Preventive strategies focusing on consistent oral hygiene practices may be more effective than fluoride supplementation alone.
