    This study aims to determine the level of knowledge about oral hygiene measures through a test/questionnaire administered to primigravida or multigravida mothers attending obstetric consultations at the El Progreso Health Center in 2017. Methodology: This was an observational, cross-sectional, and descriptive study. The questionnaire consisted of structured questions (dichotomous and multiple-choice) about knowledge of oral hygiene elements, their functions, oral pathologies related to hygiene, and oral hygiene techniques. Each correct answer was awarded one point. The regular level of knowledge was the most frequent (66.2%). Pregnant women in their third trimester showed a higher level of knowledge (29.3%). Participants with secondary education had the highest level of knowledge (46.8%). Those with up to three prenatal visits demonstrated a higher level of knowledge (36%). Conclusion: Most pregnant women exhibited a regular level of knowledge about oral hygiene.
