Abstract

Public awareness about the importance of understanding dental and oral health in toddlers is one of the factors causing the high dental caries in children under five. Sweet eating and drinking habits, inappropriate methods, lack of parental understanding of toddlers' oral and dental health are problems that exist in the community.

This research method uses a Random Sampling Survey through filling out questionnaires and interviews with parents aged 0-59 months. The results of this study indicate a high level of dental caries in toddlers in Pisangan District Ciputat Timur, Tangerang Selatan, which is caused by a lack of parental awareness in maintaining dental and oral health of toddlers, which is caused by toddlers consuming a lot of consuming and drinking sweet foods, how to eat on the wrong teeth, lack of awareness to control the dentist.
