Abstract

Background: Dental caries among elementary school students remain high to this day. The occurrence of dental caries is often linked to poor oral hygiene, leading to damage in the tooth's hard tissues. A promotive and preventive approach is necessary, especially for elementary school students during the critical period of transitioning from primary to permanent dentition. Objective: This community engagement program aimed to improve dental hygiene and oral health among elementary school students through education, mass toothbrushing activities, and giving topical fluoride. Method: The methodology included dental hygiene and caries examinations, followed by educational sessions, mass toothbrushing activities, and the administration of topical fluoride to protect teeth from caries attacks. The evaluation of success is determined by comparing the oral hygiene index before and after the activity. Results: The evaluation results indicate that the educational outreach and mass toothbrushing campaign have had a positive impact on improving the overall oral hygiene levels of students. The number of students classified under the "good" category has increased, while those in the "fair" and "poor" categories have shown a decrease. Conclusion: The comprehensive approach, comprising dental health education, mass toothbrushing sessions, and the administration of fluoride during this community service initiative, has proven to yield positive benefits in enhancing the oral hygiene of students.

Abstract

Dental and oral health problems in elementary school children are still quite high, one of which is caused by the lack of knowledge and skills of proper tooth brushing. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of counseling with a demonstration method on how to brush teeth in improving knowledge and skills of tooth brushing in Gunung Sari II Elementary School students. The type of research used is a Quasi Experiment with a Pre-test and Post-test One Group Design. The sample of the study was 55 students in grades IV, V, and VI who were taken using a total sampling technique. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire on knowledge and skills of tooth brushing before and after counseling with the demonstration method. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results of the study showed a significant increase in students' knowledge and skills after counseling with the demonstration method. Before the counseling, most students were in the category of sufficient knowledge (58%) and sufficient skills (56%). After the counseling, most students improved to the good category (84% for knowledge and more than 70% for skills). Counseling using the demonstration method has proven effective in improving students' knowledge and skills in brushing their teeth, and can be used as a dental health education strategy in schools through the UKGS program with the support of teachers and parents.
