Abstract

Parents' knowledge about the period of tooth growth, both primary and permanent teeth, is very important, but in fact, parents often don't care about their children's teeth. The role of parents is very necessary for guiding, providing understanding, reminding, and providing facilities to children so that children can maintain oral hygiene. Parents also have an important role in preventing caries in children. This study aims to describe the knowledge of parents about dental growth and prevention of dental caries in TK Kemala Bhayangkari 42 Bandung. This type of research uses descriptive research methods. The place and time of this research were carried out at Kemala Bhayangkari 42 Kindergarten, Bandung City.
