      abstract = {The global oral health situation is alarming, and urgent action is required. The study examines the most risk factors, challenges facing the health system, and potential reforms that affect the oral health of the mothers in Dinalaoan, Calasiao, Pangasinan. The purpose of the study was to determine the mothers? oral hygiene habits and state of oral health. The researcher used the Philippine Dental Association's (PDA) dental report chart and employed a descriptive quantitative study design. The findings revealed that the mothers spent less on themselves. Additionally, many respondents either did not visit the dentist regularly or only sought dental care once a year. These findings suggest that although regular brushing is practiced, other critical oral hygiene habits are not integrated into daily routines, potentially leading to long-term oral health issues. The low frequency of dental visits also indicates a lack of prioritization for professional dental care, possibly due to financial constraints or low awareness. Nevertheless, the prevalence of oral health issues among the respondents suggests that the government should take action to improve the lives of women in the community.},
