Abstract Background Parents of preschool children have inadequate oral health knowledge in Hong Kong. Parents play a critical role in preschool children’s dietary patterns and oral health behaviors.

Parents in both groups were invited to complete a questionnaire assessing their oral health knowledge before (T0), one month after (T1), and twelve months after (T2) the OHP workshop.
