This study was aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practices of rural children towards oral health. Children (n = 100) between the age group of 6 to 8 years, who attended the Government school in Gogi village on the day of screening were recruited into the study. The subjects completed a questionnaire that was aimed to evaluate young children’s oral health knowledge, attitude and practices. In the present study, 86% children were using tooth brush, 92% of the children were unaware of emergency management of avulsed tooth and that 91% reported that they have never visited the dentist. 47% stated lack of access to oral health care as the major reason for not visiting a dentist. Hence we conclude that oral health awareness and knowledge level among rural children in Gogi village was poor and needs to be improved. Need for School dental health programmes is highly recommended which incorporates the need of the population.
