Abstract

Oral health is an important aspect of maintaining overall health, especially in elementary school-aged children. Lack of understanding about oral hygiene can lead to various dental health problems, such as caries and periodontal disease. This community service program aims to improve oral hygiene status through dental health education for students of SDN 33 Banda Aceh City and their parents. The method used was pre-test and post-test without control group with univariate analysis. The intervention included counseling, demonstration of proper tooth brushing, and examination of debris index and calculus index. Results showed significant improvements in parents' knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards their children's dental health. In addition, there was an improvement in children's oral hygiene status, with the proportion of the poor category decreasing from 45.7% to 5.7%, while the good category increased from 22.9% to 42.9%. This program proves that dental health education conducted in a direct and interactive manner can increase awareness and habits of maintaining oral hygiene. Therefore, similar educational programs need to be carried out in a sustainable manner with the support of schools and parents

Abstract

Dental caries is one of the most common health problems among children, closely related to oral hygiene and the use of fluoride. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and awareness of parents and children about the importance of fluoride in preventing dental caries. The activity took place in Lam Cot Village, Lueng Bata Subdistrict, Banda Aceh, using methods such as educational lectures, demonstrations of proper toothbrushing techniques, and one-week direct mentoring. A total of 30 elementary school children and 20 parents participated in this program. Evaluation results showed an increase in participants' average knowledge scores from 63.33 to 83.33 (a 20-point improvement) after the implementation of education and mentoring. Additionally, there was an improvement in the compliance of brushing teeth twice a day using fluoride toothpaste. This program had a positive impact on preventing dental caries in children through educational and mentoring approaches.

Abstract

Peuniti Village is one of 10 villages in Baiturrahman District, Banda Aceh City, with diverse socio-cultural characteristics and a high prevalence of childhood dental caries. The initial survey showed that 85% of families experienced caries and children's dental hygiene was generally poor (PHP-M score = 38), far from government standards (<15). The purpose of this activity was to improve mothers' knowledge, attitudes, practices, and children's dental hygiene through the implementation of a home visit model of family dental nursing care. The method used was descriptive, targeting 60 children and their mothers as respondents. The intervention was conducted through three home visits over 21 days, with pre-test, post-test I, and post-test II evaluations. The results showed a significant increase in all indicators. Mothers' knowledge increased from sufficient to good (76,7%), mothers' attitudes from poor to good (80%), mothers' actions in assisting with tooth brushing from sufficient to good (83%), and children's dental hygiene status (PHP-M) from poor/very poor to good (93,3%) and very good (6,7%). This family-based educational approach has proven effective through interactive methods, demonstrations, and visual reinforcement. This activity also demonstrates the importance of mothers' roles as agents of change in children's dental care at home. In conclusion, the home visit model has proven effective in fostering healthy family behaviors independently. It is recommended for replication in other regions with cross-sectoral support to reduce caries rates preventively and sustainably
