The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of mothers' level of knowledge about dental and oral health. This study is a type of quantitative research with a cross-sectional research design. The sample in the study was 30 people with a total sampling technique. Data collection uses a questionnaire on the level of maternal knowledge; data analysis uses frequency distribution.
