his cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the relationship between primary school children's speaking attitudes and oral health indicators, including dental caries, malocclusion, and tooth loss. A total of 184 children aged 7-12 years participated. Sociodemographic data, oral examination findings, and Speaking Attitudes Scale for Children (SASC) scores were collected. The study seeks to identify whether oral health problems influence children's self-perceived communication confidence and to emphasize the importance of integrating oral health awareness into early educational settings.
