The results showed that 48% of children had moderate gingival index and 6% severe. As many as 62% of children consume vegetables high in vitamin A less than 1.5 servings per day and 62.7% children consume vegetables high in vitamin C less than 1.5 servings per day. The results of statistical tests showed that there was a positive correlation between the behavior of consuming vegetables high in vitamin A and the gingival index (p=0.038) and there was a positive correlation between the behavior of consuming vegetables high in vitamin C and the gingival index (p=0.020). In conclusion, the less consumption of vegetables high in vitamins A and C, the higher the risk of children experiencing gingivitis.
