    Objective: To determine the knowledge about dental avulsion among pregnant women attended at Hospital II-1 Dr. José Peña Portuguéz, Tocache - Peru, 2021. Methodology: An instrument was created to measure knowledge about dental avulsion among pregnant women. This instrument consisted of 7 closed-ended multiple-choice questions and was validated by expert judgment from three professors at the Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener. Authorization was requested from the hospital director to conduct the study. Once at the hospital, pregnant women were informed about the study and invited to participate. Those who agreed signed informed consent forms before completing the questionnaire regarding their knowledge of dental avulsion. Results: Among the results, only 1.1% of the pregnant women had received prior information about dental avulsion, 10% had some experience with dental avulsion, 1.7% responded that it is possible to reimplant an avulsed tooth, 41.7% stated they would clean an avulsed tooth using an alcohol wipe, and 48.9% indicated they would transport an avulsed tooth in a disinfectant solution. Conclusion: Pregnant women attended at Hospital II-1 Dr. José Peña Portuguéz, Tocache - Peru, 2021, lack knowledge about dental avulsion.
