    The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of dental erosion according to the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) index and its association with dietary habits in children aged 6 to 10 years at the Henrique Palacios Mendiburu educational institution, Lima 2022. The research was framed within a basic methodology, with a quantitative approach and an observational, analytical, and prospective cross-sectional design, with a sample of 145 students. The results revealed a prevalence of dental erosion according to the BEWE index of 31.7%, while 68.3% did not present dental erosion. Additionally, 65.2% of children with dental erosion did not consume erosive beverages, and 73.9% of children with dental erosion did not consume potentially erosive fruits. In conclusion, no significant association was found between the prevalence of dental erosion and dietary habits related to the consumption of erosive beverages and fruits (p > 0.05). These results highlight the need to implement preventive and educational measures to address the issue of dental erosion in this child population.
