Methods: Type of Research is descriptive with device of cross sectional, date which is concerning free variables and the variable trussed will be collected during which at the same time. Subject of Research as much 65 children, have age 9-10 years old. instrument using Food of cariogenic measured by Dietary is Recall Method and for measurement hard; level of caries after conducted by inspection tooth and mouth measured to use caries severity index (CSI). The Result of statistical analyzes with Chi square to know relationship between food of cariogenic to caries severity index (CSI). Results: The results of obtained by statistical test value of p-value p=0,000 according to statistics very have a meaning at storey; level of belief 95% by 0.05. Because p-value < 0.05 inferential hence there is relation between child consuming food of cariogenic hardly caries that happened at child of age 9-10 year. Result of obtained by statistical Analysis of value OR = 29,714 by 95% confidence of international 6,816- 129.540 of its meaning that child.
