Abstract

Oral hygiene is an act of care needed to keep the mouth in good condition. Children aged 7-12 years do not have good self-maintenance behavior, so they need parental supervision, including oral hygiene maintenance. Parental knowledge is very important in supporting oral hygiene in children. This knowledge can be obtained naturally or planned through the educational process. The high knowledge of parents about oral hygiene has a major impact on the health of the oral cavity in children. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and parents' motivation in carrying out oral hygiene in children aged 7-12 years in the Flamboyant room of RSUD dr. Doris Sylvanus Palangka Raya 2019. This research method is correlated with the sampling method, namely purposive sampling. Respondents took as many as 30 mothers with children aged 7-12 years.

The results of this study are that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge and parents' motivation in carrying out oral hygiene in children aged 7-12.
