Dental caries and gingivitis are the most prevalent diseases in children because of its chronic nature, the disease progresses with age if no efforts are made to control its progression. The objective of this study was to identify the epidemiological profile of children aged 2-5 years in the district of Lima. We conducted a cross sectional study in 118 children in two educational institutions in the district of Santiago de Surco-Lima. Carious lesions were evaluated in each child, as recorded by WHO. For the IHO we used the Löe Silness plaque index, and for gingivitis we used the Löe and Silness.index. Results: The prevalence of caries of 77.9%, the prevalence of gingivitis was 55% and the Oral Hygiene Index had an average of 1, which places it in an average of regular hygiene. Conclusion: The population studied had dental caries levels greater or equal to other studies show, being the females who evidenced higher rates of caries, gingivitis and oral hygiene index.
