Objective: To verify the relationship between the child’s caries condition and the mother’s self-perceived experience through a cross-sectional observational study. Methods: The study was realized in the School of Dentistry of the Federal University of Pelotas with children aged between 8 and 11 years and their mothers. The sample size was 105 mother-child pairs. The responsible responded a questionnaire about the socioeconomic and demographic condition, mother answered questions about her oral health: caries experience (filled or decayed teeth) and tooth loss due to caries. In children the outcomes were evaluated through clinical exam with the sum of deciduous and permanent decayed, missing and filled teeth (dmft/DMFT) and for caries severity the Significant Caries Index (SiC) was used: dmft/DMFT≥3. To test the association between the variables related to the mother and the outcome caries severity was performed the Chi-square test with the average of caries in the child (dmft/DMFT) the Mann-Whitney Test was used. Results: Regarding dental caries severity, it has not been found statistically relevant association. The average of the dmft/DMFT was almost three times higher in children whose mothers reported being or having had a tooth decayed or filled due to caries when comparing to those how did not report this experience. Younger mothers had children with a higher average of caries than older mothers. Conclusion: Among the children assisted in this service there is a relationship of a higher average of caries in children with whose mothers have or had caries experience and younger.
