Dental caries is the most common infectious disease in the oral cavity and is still a dental health problem in Indonesia. Lack of knowledge about dental and oral health can increase the risk of dental caries.

Knowledge of oral health and the incidence of dental caries was assessed using a questionnaire. The results of the study: there is a distribution of students who have a good level of knowledge of dental and oral health as many as 115 people (83.3%) and students who experience dental caries events are 99 people (71.7%).
