The most common periodontal diseases worldwide are periodontitis and gingivitis. These are infections that affect the structures that support and protect the teeth, known as the supporting periodontium and the protective periodontium, respectively. Despite being so prevalent and having a considerable impact, there is a significant lack of clear and accessible information aimed at the general public about the processes that give rise to them, especially with regard to genetic and epigenetic aspects. This study investigated the relationship between epigenetic knowledge and periodontal health in the population of Los Ríos, examining how understanding epigenetic factors can influence the management of periodontitis and gingivitis, common periodontal diseases that affect the supporting structures and tooth protection. Despite the clinical importance of these disorders, there is a notable lack of accessible information on their underlying genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. The study used surveys and interviews to assess knowledge of epigenetics among residents, and descriptive and inferential statistical analyzes revealed a significant association between epigenetic knowledge and advanced oral health practices. The majority of respondents were found to have limited knowledge about epigenetics, highlighting the urgent need for focused educational programs. Those with a deeper understanding showed more proactive and personalized oral health practices. These findings underscore the importance of epigenetics education as a key strategy to improve periodontal health in the community
