Dental health problems can occur in all age groups, especially in children, and it is important to pay attention to them. In addi-tion to caries, another common dental problem in children is persistent primary teeth. This study was conducted at the UPTD Selemadeg Timur I Community Health Centre, Tabanan, Bali, from January to March 2025. This study was conducted using an observational cross-sectional method. Data on patient visits for persistent deciduous teeth at the Selemadeg Timur I Commu-nity Health Centre, involved 359 patients. It was concluded that the high incidence of persistent teeth at the health centre may be due to a lack of knowledge among parents.
