Abstract

Knowledge of dental and oral health in children is crucial for improving their behavior in maintaining oral hygiene. Behaviors developed from childhood will have a positive impact in adulthood.

The research method used is a descriptive survey method. The study population consists of 46 students, with 21 students in 4th grade and 25 students in 5th grade.
