Abstract

Introduction: Oral health is a vital component of overall well-being, especially in school-age children who are in the critical stage of forming lifelong health habits. However, awareness and practice of proper toothbrushing remain low in many communities. Objective: This community service program aimed to improve knowledge and practices related to toothbrushing as part of Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors (PHBS) among school-age children. Method: The activity was conducted through interactive health education sessions at  Babakan Pari Village involving 26 students aged 6-8 years old. The program included educational storytelling, demonstrations using dental models, and hands-on practice of proper toothbrushing techniques. Dental kits were distributed to encourage continued practice at home. Results: The program resulted in increased knowledge and improved toothbrushing skills among the participants, as observed through pre- and post-activity assessments. Teachers reported a higher level of student awareness and enthusiasm toward maintaining personal hygiene after the intervention. Conclusion: Educational interventions that are engaging and age-appropriate can significantly enhance oral hygiene behaviour in children. Collaboration with schools and families is essential to sustain PHBS practices and promote healthier futures for young generations.
