The independent variable were the frequency of consumption of cariogenic snacks, frequency and time of toothbrushing (before bed and after eating), while the dependent variable is the presence or absence of dental caries. Data were analyzed by the X2 (chi square) test to test the hypothesis with α = 0.005. Result: The results showed the prevalence of dental caries was 75% (83 children). Results of statistical test between the frequency of consumption of cariogenic snacks with dental caries showed p = 0.886
