Abstract

Bad breath, or commonly known as halitosis, is a health problem that is often overlooked. It can harm a person's daily life, including social isolation, anxiety, and discomfort. Halitosis can be divided into two types: genuine halitosis (related to oral issues) and delusional halitosis (related to false perceptions). Most cases of halitosis are caused by oral hygiene problems such as reduced saliva, dry mouth, gingivitis, periodontitis, and the use of dentures. Specific bacteria in the mouth can produce foul-smelling compounds known as volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), such as methyl mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide. Additionally, halitosis can also result from systemic issues or bad habits. It is important to provide education to the community on how to address halitosis and maintain oral hygiene. Steps like regular tooth brushing, tongue cleaning, using dental floss, and avoiding strongly aromatic foods can help reduce the risk of halitosis. In the community of RT015/RW008, Kelurahan Jatipulo, West Jakarta, this education is particularly crucial because the level of knowledge about oral health is low. Through education and training, it is hoped that the community can recognize the causes of halitosis and address the issue before seeking medical help. This will improve the quality of life for the community, boost their self-confidence, and help prevent more serious oral health.

Abstract

Pain in the oral cavity is divided into two types, which are odontogenic pain and non-odontogenic pain. Often, people have difficulty seeking appropriate help for the pain they feel in their oral cavity. The initial response people take to alleviate this pain is by using over-the-counter medications (self-medication). Clinicians frequently encounter individuals who come for treatment having consumed medications irrationally. The actions taken are self-medication without proper indications and incorrect dosages. The background of this community service activity (PkM) is the lack of knowledge among the residents of RW 012 Sunter Agung about the causes of pain in the oral cavity and the risks of inappropriate self-medication for oral pain. This PkM activity aims to help the community practice rational self-medication and to provide knowledge about oral cavity pain. The implementation was carried out offline on 31st january 2024 by giving lectures regarding the causes of oral cavity pain and the risks of inappropriate self-medication, followed by a question and answer session. The results showed that there is knowledge improvement based on the differences in results of pre and post tests carried out.

Abstract

The high prevalence of dental caries among elementary school children in Indonesia, reaching 93%, highlights the urgent need for effective dental health education for both students and parents. This community service activity aimed to increase knowledge and awareness about dental health through interactive education at SD Negeri Sukabumi Selatan 01, Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta, on April 23, 2025. The target participants were 30 fourth-grade students and 15 parents, selected purposively. The program involved pre-tests, delivery of material using audio-visual media, demonstrations of proper tooth brushing techniques, group discussions, educational games, and post-tests to measure knowledge improvement. The results showed an increase in students’ average knowledge scores from 6.13 to 8.00 and parents’ scores from 7.80 to 8.60 after the intervention. The interactive method proved more effective than conventional lectures, supported by active student participation, parental involvement as role models, and strong support from the school. In conclusion, interactive education based on school-family collaboration significantly improved understanding and fostered healthy behaviors in children. It is recommended that similar activities be conducted regularly with broader parental involvement and strengthened school roles, in order to sustainably reduce dental health problems among children.
