Objective: To analyze the level of parents’ perception, attitude and awareness about care of primary teeth. Methodology: A descriptive cross sectional study was conducted in general population with non-probability purposive sampling technique. Validated questionnaire was used consisting of 30 close ended questions. Total of one hundred and forty nine questionnaires (n=149) were selected for the study. Questionnaire was divided into five domains: : 1) knowledge of parents, 2) attitude of parents towards care of primary teeth, 3) oral health practice of parents, 4) oral health practice of children and 5) psychosocial effects of poor oral hygiene of children. Result: The results revealed that the parents have minimal knowledge regarding the care of deciduous teeth. But parents are concerned about the oral hygiene of their children and early childhood caries as majority of them surmise that having an unpleasant appearance makes the child feel inferior and also affects the school performance. Conclusion: Improvement in the dental awareness of the parents as well as update the knowledge of the general dental practitioners is essential so that they can inculcate a positive dental attitude in the patients and parents. There is an urgent need to enhance the knowledge and train the parents to promote lifelong oral hygiene habits.
