Introduction: Children encounter many accidents during their day to day activities. The Lack of awareness and knowledge regarding dental trauma result in delayed presentation in the dental office which leads to unfavorable prognosis of the tooth.

Aim: The aim of our study was to assess the knowledge and attitude of Kashmiri mothers towards the dental avulsion and its early management.

Methodology: A questionnaire was used to interview 300 Kashmiri mothers who routinely accompanied their children aged between 6 to 13 years to the Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry Govt. Dental College and Hospital Srinagar for day to day procedures. The variables comprised of questions about their knowledge and perception toward dental avulsion. Each question was provided with multiple options and mothers had to mark one option.

Conclusion: It was concluded from the study that the knowledge of Kashmiri mothers with regards to the management of tooth avulsion was in-suffcient.
