“…In particular, the parents of children aged 0-5 should be informed about the importance of oral hygiene and their children should be trained on how to implement it. If parents control the oral care that their children need to do regarding oral health and dietary content, both ECC and families' sense of guilt can be prevented (Taran & Mammadli, 2021).…”

Aim:The aim of this study is to evaluate the feelings of guilt of parents about their children's problems due to dental caries and to examine the possible relationship between parental guilt and sociodemographic factors by examining the status of early childhood caries(ECC) and severe ECC(S-ECC) in children. Methods:Children younger than 72 months with dental caries were included in the study(N=200).Parents answered the questionnaire consisting of two parts, which included sociodemographic information and adapted ECOHIS questions.Results were analyzed by Chi-square and one-factor Logistic Regression test. Results:85.5% of the children were S-ECC and 14.5% were ECC.27.5% of the parents reported feeling guilty about their children's dental problems. Parents chose "lack of brushing" with the highest rate (40.5%) as the source of the problem. 95.0% of the parents stated that existing dental caries in their children can be prevented, 73.5% of them stated that visiting dentist can prevent the problem. No statistically significant relationship was found between the parents' feelings of guilt due to their children's dental problems and the sources of the problems, types of prevention and sociodemographic characteristics. Conclusion:Parents should take the necessary responsibility for their children's oral health.Families should be informed about their children's oral health and encouraged to practice. Keywords:Parents, Early Childhood Caries, Dental Caries, Guilt
