Abstract

Maintenance of children's dental and oral health is very dependent on parents, especially mothers as the closest people to children. So research is needed which aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge of mothers about maintaining oral health and the incidence of dental caries in children. The design of this study was cross-sectional involving 92 pairs of mother and child respondents. The level of knowledge was measured by filling out a questionnaire, while the incidence of caries was measured by direct examination. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-square test. The results showed that the p value was less than 0.05. It can be concluded that the level of mother's knowledge about maintaining oral health is negatively correlated with the incidence of dental caries in children. The higher the level of mother's knowledge, the lower the incidence of dental caries in children.Keywords: dental caries; child; mother knowledge                                                                                                                                                                         ABSTRAK Pemeliharaan kesehatan gigi dan mulut anak sangat bergantung kepada orang tua, khususnya ibu sebagai orang yang terdekat dengan anak.
