Determine the impact of caries severity on the quality of life of preschoolers at IEI 1575 Barcia Boniffatti, La Esperanza, in terms of oral health, in 2023. Materials and methods: A prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive and observational study was carried out. Of the total of 150 preschoolers enrolled in 2023, 109 participants aged 3, 4 and 5 years were evaluated under a combined ICDAS diagnosis and at the same time their parents and/or guardians were evaluated using the ECOHIS questionnaire in the Peruvian version. Results: Based on the findings, the Spearman correlation test presented a value less than 0.01 (p=3.3287E-11<0.01), revealing that there is a significant relationship between the variables Severity of Caries and Quality of Life related to oral health. It was found that 72% of parents reported a “negative” quality of life in relation to the oral health of the 23.9% of those evaluated who presented severe caries. Regarding sex, there was no percentage difference. In terms of age, 83.3% of severe caries and “negative” impact belong to 3 years of age and in terms of parents' educational level, 85.7% of parents with a higher level reported severe caries with negative impact. Conclusions: The severity of caries negatively impacts the quality of life related to oral health in preschoolers at IEI 1575 Barcia Boniffatti, La Esperanza
