Aim: To assess parent__ampersandsignrsquo;s knowledge and attitude regarding oral health of their children in Buraydah City.&#13;
Method: Across-sectional study was conducted through self-administered questionnaire which was distributed to around 500 parents in Buraydah city. Information regarding, mother education, children oral habits, feeding practicesand dental preventive measures, was obtained from caregivers by self-administered questionnaire.&#13;
Results: Our result showed that most parents reported that their children did not brush their teeth and they also believed that primary teeth are not as important as permanent teeth and the main reason for the child__ampersandsignrsquo;s visit to dentist was toothache.&#13;
Conclusion: This study revealed significant association between child dental visit and family preventive measure knowledge with level of education and family monthly income.&#13;
