Summary :	Dental Discomfort Questionnaires (DDQ) is a set of toothache-related-behaviours questions designed by a group of paediatric dentist. This study aims to evaluate the relative dental discomfort among preschool children and to assess awareness of parents for toothache-related-behaviours in their children through DDQ. A cross-sectional study was conducted at IIUM Dental Clinic and Kuantan area involving preschool children 5 years old and below in the period of 10 months from February until November 2016. This research was approved by the IIUM Research Ethic Committee (IREC). Inter-examiner reliability was tested with Kappa statistic (0.83). Participants‟ caries status was assessed using decayed-missing-filled teeth (dmft) and self-administered DDQ is filled out by their parents/caregivers.
