Abstract

Dental caries is a major problem in children's mouths that can be avoided if they are taught to take care of their teeth and gums from a young age. Elementary school age is ideal for instilling the habit of brushing teeth, and the school's role becomes increasingly important, one of which is the School Dental Health Centre (UKGS). The UKGS, on the other hand, has not been going well at four elementary schools in Karangtengah Village. As a result, a revitalization program for the UKGS is required. Counseling and toothbrushing movements, as well as dental and oral health checks, are all part of the UKGS revitalization program. The purpose of this program is to increase the knowledge of teachers and UKGS supervisors about UKGS and dental and oral health. This activity began with a pre-test followed by the presentation of UKGS revitalization material and ended with a post-test. This education is able to increase the knowledge of teachers and UKGS supervisors about UKGS and dental and oral health.

Abstract

Dental caries in children is a serious problem that can be caused by a lack of knowledge, attitudes and actions of parents about maintaining oral health. Empowering posyandu cadres is an effort to prevent dental caries in children. One instrument that can be used is the Healthy Teeth Card (KMGS) to monitor the growth and development of children's teeth from 1 to 60 months of age. This service activity aims to increase the role of posyandu cadres as Dental and Oral Health Cadres (KADEGI) in the growth and development of toddler teeth through KMGS in Karangtengah Village, Baturaden District. This community service implementation method begins with simple socialization and training for 29 posyandu cadres. The next stage is the process of assisting posyandu cadres in filling out the KMGS at Posyandu Munthuk and Karangbatur. The result of this programme is a total of 66 toddlers examined by cadres using the KMGS.
