Abstract

Anxiety is a normal response that often occurs and is experienced by everyone when faced with something that is considered threatening, anxiety can affect a person's behavior. One form of anxiety that is often found in society is dental anxiety. Dental anxiety is a tendency to feel afraid and anxious about dental and oral care. This anxiety does not only occur in pediatric patients, even adult patients also experience dental anxiety. One form of anxiety in dental and oral health care and the most common anxiety is tooth extraction, a growing belief in society that pulling teeth, especially in the maxillary teeth, can affect eye health and can even cause blindness. The myth that developed regarding blindness can occur as a result of the disconnection of the eye nerve when the tooth is being extracted, it could also be due to anesthetic fluid entering through the eye nerve. In fact, if we look at the facts and research, the optic nerve is not related to the dental nerve because there is no direct relationship between the eye nerve and the dental nerve, so it is necessary to educate the public that extraction cannot cause blindness after extraction. The solutions offered in this community service activity include education and the provision of digital literature on retraction, anesthetic procedures, and the connection with the innervation of the eye.

In Indonesia, data from the first patience until October 2021, this pandemic has infected more than four million Indonesians citizen, soon after government made policies for people to stay at home if there is no urgent need to leave the house. Transmission of COVID-19 which is through droplets and airborne causing contact from people to other should be limited if it is not necessary, as well as in conditions of fulfilling dental and oral care needs. The main transmission conditions through droplets like this cause health workers, especially the dentistry sector to be at high risk for infected by COVID-19, because dentists must have direct contact with the patients oral cavity who may also have become carriers of COVID-19, this can be done through direct contact with saliva, patient's blood and can also be caused by touch a tool or object which surfaces has been contaminated by this virus. Although it is recommended not to go to dentist for treatment, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) still give recommendations to patient to be treated for emergency cases. So education and literacy are needed to increase public knowledge about what cases included to an emergency cases, how to go or get treatment in dental and oral health needs during the pandemic, so that people can still get treatment if they are in a condition that is really needed.
