The independent variables are teeth brushing skills and parental characteristics. The dependent variable is the dental hygiene status of preschool children. The data collection instruments used were questionnaires, observation sheets and free-plaq score examination sheets. Analysis of the data used is Chi Square with a significance level of p <0.005.

Results: brushing skills on dental hygiene status showed that the value of p=0.001 (p<0.05) and the age of the parents had the value of p=0.161, the work of the parents the value of p=0.083 and the education of the parents p=0.282 (p>0.05).
