The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of mothers regarding oral health and the oral hygiene status of children aged 3 to 5 years from the I.E.P. Juan Espinosa Medrano, Lima - 2016. The study was analytical, observational, cross-sectional, and prospective; the sample consisted of 51 children, selected through probabilistic sampling. Hypothesis testing was conducted using Kendall’s tau-b and Chi-square tests, with p ≤ 0.05 and 95% confidence. The oral hygiene status of the children in the study was found to be 72.5% (37) at a regular level. The level of knowledge of the sample was acceptable at 72.5% (37). The attitude was favorable at 84.3% (43), while the practices were poor at 60.8% (31). A relationship was found between the level of mothers’ oral health practices and the children’s oral hygiene status [Kendall’s tau-b = 0.347 and p = 0.020]. No relationship was found between the mothers’ level of knowledge [Kendall’s tau-b = 0.084 and p = 0.300] and attitudes [X2 = 3.590 and p = 0.166] regarding oral health and the children’s oral hygiene status, thus accepting the null hypothesis. The study concluded that there is a relationship between the mothers’ oral health practices and the children’s oral hygiene status, accepting the research hypothesis.

The objective of this study was to "Determine the relationship between oral health practices in children aged 1 to 11 years and access to information about proper oral hygiene practices by their guardians and/or caregivers according to ENDES 2020." The study used a quantitative approach with a hypothetical-deductive method. The study is based on secondary data from the 2020 Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES). The sample frame of ENDES 2020 included 37,390 households. The SPSS database was used for data processing, with an alpha value of 0.05. Upon analyzing the association between oral health practices and access to information, a statistically significant association was found (p = 0.014). Among children aged 1 to 11 years who brush their teeth 1 to 2 times a day, 41.3% did not receive information about oral care, while in those who brush their teeth 3 times or more, the percentage was lower (35.9%). The study concluded that there is a significant relationship between oral health practices and access to information.
