Oral health care problems are universal ranging from children to adults and the most common problem is dental caries .The aim of our study is to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice of oral healthcare among the Assam population .A Cross Sectional survey was conducted among 100 participants belonging to the Assam population. A questionnaire was prepared and circulated through Google form link .Data was then tabulated and analysed using appropriate statistical analysis. 75.5 % of the participants were aware of oral health care and majority believe that brushing will help to maintain good oral health.
