There was a significant relationship between parental awareness of the age and location of first permanent Molar eruption, and dental caries prevention methods with parent’ s educational level and job. Parents with history of child dental visit in the recent year, had significantly higher awareness of the age, location of first permanent Molar eruption, fissure sealant method, and Fluoride therapy. Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, parents had low awareness of the first permanent Molar eruption and had moderate awareness of fissure sealant method and Fluoride therapy.
