One hundred sixty two children aged between 3 to 5 years were selected randomly from the school. They were examined for dental caries on proximal & buccal surfaces of at least two maxillary incisors (WHO, 1987). A questionnaire was used for evaluation of related factors. It was found that 36.42% children were affected by ECC. Thus, substantial efforts by ways of both, early detection & treatment and effective preventive strategies are required to decrease the prevalence of ECC in pre-school children.
