Abstract

Betel leaf nutraceutical education for dental and oral health, especially for school age children, needs special attention because at this age children are undergoing the process of growth and development.  Children's teeth will influence the development of dental health in adulthood. Considering that the nutraceutical advantages of betel leaves for dental and oral health have been known for generations, they are easy to obtain, delicious and very cheap. Through the outreach program, it is hoped that it can increase knowledge and raise awareness of the importance of maintaining healthy teeth and mouth. The aim of this counseling is to provide knowledge to children about the importance of betel leaf nutraceuticals for maintaining healthy teeth and mouth. This type of counseling uses face-to-face counseling methods directly in class, starting with a pretest, and at the end of the counseling a posttest. In this extension activity, participants were active in taking part in the extension, so that this activity ran well. So it can be concluded that betel leaf nutraceutical counseling increases students' knowledge of betel leaf nutraceuticals for dental and oral health.

Abstract

Introduction: The increasing life expectancy in Indonesia, including  Denpasar City, has led to a growing elderly population. Older adults are vulnerable to various health problems, including tooth loss. This condition can impair chewing function, affect facial aesthetics, and ultimately reduce the quality of life. Dentures are a commonly used solution; however, their use among the elderly remains low. Therefore, it is important to explore the factors influencing the interest in using dentures. Material and Methods: This study was a qualitative research including a descriptive exploratory approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 20 older adults from five community units (banjar) in Denpasar City, selected purposively. Data were analyzed thematically using the Hanlon method, which considers the magnitude of the problem,  seriousness of the impact,  effectiveness of the solution, and feasibility of implementation, to assess and prioritize the factors contributing to the low interest in denture use. Results and Discussions: Six main themes were identified as influencing the low interest in denture use: passive acceptance of tooth loss as a natural part of aging, limited access due to lack of transportation or assistance, (3) low knowledge about the benefits of dentures, discomfort during use, perception of high costs, and ignorance of the Indonesian health insurance coverage. Conclusion: The low interest in denture use among older adults is influenced by psychosocial, structural, and educational factors. Educational interventions, provision of mobile health services, and culturally sensitive, community-based approaches are needed to improve denture utilization among older adults.
