    Objective: To validate an instrument for measuring the level of knowledge about oral health in children aged five and six years at I.E. 5083 San Martin de Porres-Callao in 2019. Materials and Methods: This was an observational, prospective, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. Data collection was conducted through a survey using a valid and reliable instrument. Results: Content validity was achieved through a literature review, resulting in an 11-item instrument. These items were evaluated using Aiken's V, scoring 0.9 in expert judgment, which led to the removal of one question. The instrument underwent an initial reliability test with 10 questions, yielding a result of "<0.60," prompting the removal of question 8. A second pilot test was conducted, achieving a reliability score of "0.74," demonstrating the instrument’s reliability. The validated instrument was then applied to a sample of 184 children aged 5 and 6 years at I.E. 5083 San Martin de Porres in Lima-Callao, revealing a medium level of knowledge among the students. Conclusion: The instrument for measuring the level of knowledge about oral health in children aged 5 and 6 years is valid and reliable.
