Aim of the Study: The purpose of the study was to assess the knowledge of parents in influencing as well as maintaining the oral hygiene practices of their children. Methodology: The parents were requested to complete a 25‑item questionnaire which was semi‑structured and self‑administered for obtaining the required data. The parents’ questionnaire, which included questions on habits and beliefs, and some of the questions concerning attitudes. Also, questions related to the knowledge about the primary dentition, functions, tooth shedding, effects on permanent teeth, and importance of fluoride were also included in the survey. To find out the association between categorical variables, the Chi‑square test was applied. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Of the parents, 42% of the respondents had the practice of changing the child’s tooth brush every 6 months, 27.3% once in a month, 19.9% when the bristles fray out, and 13.8% were not particular. It was noted that 64% of the parents visited a dentist while having oral problems, whereas 6.2% of them had the good practice of visiting the dentist at least once in a year. 85.6% of the parents agreed that they would opt for the treatment and 14.4% of the parents would deny the treatment due to the factors such as time constraint (2.9%), expenditure (58.8%), and both time and money (35.3%). Conclusion: Good practices for maintaining child’s oral health was less than satisfactory in some aspects. Education had a major role to play in their care of child’s teeth. Hence, improving awareness among parents/caregivers is crucial in the care of child’s oral health.
