Abstract : Drinking coffee is known to have both positive and negative aftermath on periodontal health. This study was conducted at 82 Division Dental Clinic in Enugu. The study explored the relationship between coffee consumption and oral health among 100 patients. The researcher used all the population for the study and thus, no sampling technique was employed. Three research questions and specific objectives guided the study. Three research hypotheses guided the study. A cross sectional study was conducted among patients visiting dental Clinics in 82 divisions, Enugu. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on coffee consumption habits, oral hygiene practices and dental health status. The result was analyzed using simple frequency table. The majority (64%) were male, while 36% were female. Results showed that 42% of patients consumed coffee daily; while 20% did so occasionally. Most patients (71%) believed coffee causes bad breath, and 40% associated it with tooth staining. The study revealed a knowledge gap regarding excessive coffee intake's effects on oral health. Researchers recommended moderate coffee consumption, regular dental check-ups, and good oral hygiene practices to mitigate negative effects. They also emphasized the need for intensified dental education and oral health promotion.
