Background: Children are a kind and innocent part of society, and since their oral health affects the oral health of future generations, it is given the attention it deserves. The dental health of young children is greatly influenced by the knowledge and attitude of their parents. Hence, the present study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices of parents toward their children's oral health and also to compare the knowledge, attitude, and practices with regard to age and socioeconomic status. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out with a sample of 200 among the parents of higher primary schoolgoing children in Davanagere. A questionnaire was designed to test parent's awareness toward their children's oral health, and data were collected by means of a questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 16 relevant questions with demographic data. The Chi-square test had been used to test the association between the responses among parent's socioeconomic status using statistical package for social sciences version 23. Result: A total of 210 questionnaires were distributed, with a response rate of 95.4%. Out of the 200 participants (30−60 years), 41% were mothers and 59% were fathers. Of them, 19.5% were upper middle (II), 48.5% were lower middle (III), and 32% were upper lower (IV). Almost 36% of the parents preferred to take their child for dental visit only after seeing a visible cavity in their child's mouth. Nearly 74% of parents were aware that deleterious oral habits can cause irregular teeth. Conclusion: More than half of the respondents had an average level of knowledge on oral health, while a majority had a positive attitude toward their child's oral health. Participants with lower middle (III) status had significantly better overall knowledge scores than others.
