Parents have a low level of knowledge regarding the consequences of oral habits in the occlusion of their children's dental formation. Sucking is a common habit in children with consequences such as dentoskeletal alterations, malocclusions and difficulties in normal swallowing, anterior open bite and mandibular protrusion, accentuated overjet and vestibularization of the upper anterior incisors. These terms are not handled by the parents, hence the difficulty to act preventively. The main purpose of the research work is to verify the level of knowledge of parents regarding the consequences of oral habits on their dental formation and occlusion in childhood, of pediatric patients who attend the Dental Clinic. The research corresponds to the quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental design. 100 parents of minors who consulted in the university clinic were studied, which showed a ridiculous level in terms of the knowledge they possess regarding the consequences of oral habits on dental formation and occlusion in the childhood stage of their children./as, by measuring three cognitive levels: types of oral habits with a knowledge level of 30%; influence of oral habits with 15% management and consequences of oral habits in occlusion with 50% knowledge.
