Introduction: The Covid-19 pandemic has caused significant changes to activity
patterns, habits, and lifestyles of people globally, especially changes among
preschoolers, such as changes in food intake and maintaining oral hygiene. This
can related to the way parents educate their children during the Covid-19
pandemic at home accompanied by the temporary suspension of Early Childhood
Education (PAUD) activities which raise concerns for educators. The purpose of
this study was to describe the frequency of children's eating patterns, parental
attitudes, parental knowledge, and behavior in maintaining oral hygiene during the
Covid-19 pandemic in preschool children. Methods: This type of research is
quantitative descriptive with a cross-sectional research design. The sample is 56
people using total sampling technique. The research instrument used were the
Food Frequency Questionnaire, attitude and knowledge questionnaire, and
behavior questionnaire to maintain oral hygiene. Results: The highest percentage
of cariogenic food diets were bread (64.29%), chocolate (50.00%), and snacks
(48.21%). Parents predominantly have good attitudes and knowledge about their
children's oral hygiene (98.21%), the frequency distribution of children's behavior
in maintaining oral hygiene through tooth brushing activities shows the largest
percentage in terms of brushing teeth using a soft-bristled toothbrush and using
toothpaste each as many as 46 people (82.14%) respectively. Conclusion: During
the Covid-19 pandemic, the highest cariogenic foods consumed included bread,
chocolate, and snacks. Parents mostly have good attitudes and knowledge about
their children's oral hygiene, but children's behavior in maintaining dental and oral
hygiene through brushing teeth still needs to be improved in terms of frequency,
time, equipment used, and techniques.
Keywords: Preschool age children's diet, parents' attitudes and knowledge,
