    Oral health pathology is a public health problem among the population in our country, with a high incidence primarily related to dental caries. The objective of this study was to determine the level of knowledge about oral hygiene habits in secondary school students at the Colegio Nacional Virgen del Socorro in Pomabamba, Ancash, 2017. The study sample consisted of 291 secondary school students of both sexes. A non-probabilistic, convenience sampling technique was used, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. A validated 12-question closed-ended survey with multiple-choice options regarding oral hygiene habits was developed. The results showed that the level of knowledge about oral hygiene habits among the students of both sexes was poor in 34%, regular in 48.4%, and good in 17.6%.
