In order to plan and implement a comprehensive dental preventive health programme for the children of Mamre, the prevalence of dental disease was determined for the children attending the preschool and the primary school in the village. The prevalence of dental caries is reported in this article. A high prevalence of caries in the primary dentition was found, 26.4% of all primary teeth present in the under-5.5-year age group, 41.0% of those in the 6-year age group, and 41.4% of those in the 9-year age group being decayed. The prevalence of dental caries in the permanent dentition was low but increased with age: 3.8% of all permanent teeth present in the 6-year age group, 3.7% of those in the 9-year age group, 6.3% of those in the 12-year age group and 7.2% of those in the 14-year age group being decayed.
