Maintaining oral health is closely related to behavior and to change behavior requires the participation of the community where the individual lives. The closest environment in which individuals are located is the family environment and more broadly, namely the school environment.

Abstract

Dental health problems experienced by school-aged children are very complex and varied. Dental and oral health problems in school-aged children are currently quite worrying. Dental and oral hygiene is an indicator that can influence a person's dental and oral health status and even general health status. Tooth brushing behavior is one of the efforts made by every individual to prevent dental and oral diseases. There are many factors that can cause a person's dental and oral health status to be good or bad, including knowledge, behavior and the availability of dental and oral health facilities which also play a role in a person's dental and oral health status. The results of measuring the dental and oral hygiene status of students in grades IV and V at SD GMIT Pariti show that there are still many students whose dental and oral hygiene status is not good. For this reason, efforts are made to increase knowledge and skills in efforts to maintain dental and oral health through counseling and demonstrations of good and correct tooth brushing as well as providing facilities for clean and healthy living behavior in the field of dental and oral health. The results of the activity show that there is the ability to take self-care measures in the field of dental and oral health so that it influences the status of dental and oral hygiene as well.

Abstract

Background: Fluoride is an inorganic element that plays a crucial role in dental health through drinking water. Variations in groundwater fluoride levels in coastal areas can affect dental health, especially dental caries. The optimal fluoride concentration to prevent caries is 0,7 mg/L, with a maximum limit of 1,5 mg/L according to Ministry of Health Regulation No. 32 of 2017.Objective: This study aimed to determine the fluoride concentration in coastal groundwater and its association with dental caries incidence in children.Methods: An analytical observational cross-sectional study was conducted using simple random sampling on 26 children aged ≥2 years residing in coastal areas who used groundwater as their drinking water source. The study was carried out in Oesapa Village, Kupang City, in May 2024. Data were collected using questionnaires and dental caries examinations with the DMF-T index. Data were analyzed using correlation tests between fluoride levels and caries incidence.Results: Groundwater fluoride levels ranged from 0,00 to 1,01 mg/L (mean 0,28 mg/L), remaining below the safe limit of 1,5 mg/L. The mean dmf-t score for primary teeth was 2,36, and the DMF-T score for permanent teeth was 0,08, indicating generally good dental status among children. Statistical analysis showed no significant correlation between fluoride concentration and caries incidence (p= 0,796). Behavioral factors such as tooth brushing habits and sugar consumption were suspected to influence caries occurrence.Conclusions: Fluoride levels in coastal groundwater of Oesapa were within normal limits and met Ministry of Health standards. Caries incidence was low, and no association was found between fluoride levels and caries prevalence.
