Background: Dental health plays a crucial role in children’s overall growth and development. Adequate nutrition is essential to support the proper eruption of permanent teeth, and parents in maintaining their children’s oral health.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess parental knowledge regarding the relationship between children’s nutritional status and the eruption status of permanent incisor teeth.
Method: This study was conducted at SDN Pulorejo 1, Mojokerto City, in December 2023. A total of 38 parents of first- and second-grade students were included using a total sampling method. Data were collected using an online questionnaire and analyzed descriptively using frequency distributions.
Results: The majority of students (76%) were classified as having normal nutritional status, while 89% of parents demonstrated good knowledge regarding the relationship between nutrition and tooth eruption.
Conclusions: Most parents exhibited good nutritional knowledge, aligning with the finding that the majority of children had normal nutritional status. Parental knowledge is an important determinant in supporting optimal child nutrition, which in turn facilitates timely eruption of permanent incisors and contributes to better oral and general health outcomes.
