Abstract
Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is a serious dental health problem among children that not only affects teeth but also the growth of children. One of the factors causing ECC is the parental actions in preventing practice. This study aims to determine the factors associated with parental practice in prevention of ECC in preschool children. This type of research is quantitative with cross-sectional approach on a sample of 53 parents of early childhood education program (PAUD) students with data collection using questionnaires. The results obtained by the majority of parents have good ECC prevention practices (64.2%). The results of the analysis prove the relationship between attitudes and behavioral norms with ECC prevention practices (p <0.05), while behavioral control is not related to ECC prevention practices (p> 0.05). It is recommended for parents to provide assistance and supervision in ECC prevention practices in preschool children. In addition, for schools and health agencies to conduct dental and oral health education routinely.
