Abstract

Dental caries remains a significant health problem among young children, especially in kindergarten.Data indicate a high prevalence of caries among children aged 4-6 years in Indonesia, which is attributed to a lack of knowledge about dental hygiene, improper toothbrushing techniques, and a habit of consuming sugary foods. This community service activity was conducted as an effort to detect and prevent dental issues early on, as childhood is a critical period for establishing healthy lifestyle habits. The objectives of this activity are: (1) To conduct early detection of dental caries; (2) To enhance children's and teachers' knowledge about oral health, and (3) To train proper brushing techniques through interactive educational approaches. The community service was conducted at Dharma Wanita Kindergarten, Kediri, involving 40 children aged 4–6 years. The methods used included: (1) Dental examinations, (2) Interactive education through lectures, demonstrations of toothbrushing using audio- visual media such as videos on proper toothbrushing techniques, jaw models (phantoms), and educational games, and (3) Knowledge assessment through pretest-posttest questionnaires. Data were analysed using quantitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that 72% of students had dental caries. Following the education, there was an improvement in students' understanding of how to maintain dental and oral health, as well as how to brush their teeth properly. The toothbrushing demonstration successfully improved the children's skills, with 95% able to practise the correct technique. Teachers responded positively to the programme. This activity was effective in increasing awareness and promoting dental health practices among preschool children. Collaboration between health workers and schools is essential for the sustainability of the programme. Recommendations: (1) Regular monitoring by the community health centre, (2) Integration of dental health materials into the early childhood education curriculum, and (3) Development of school dental health cadres.

Abstract

Background: Irrational use of antibiotics, including amoxicillin, contributes to the increase in bacterial resistance and the risk of adverse drug reactions. Adequate patient knowledge is a key factor in promoting appropriate antibiotic use. Objective: To describe the level of knowledge among general outpatients regarding the use of amoxicillin at Dono Public Health Center, Tulungagung Regency. Methods: This study used a descriptive quantitative design with sampling involving 85 respondents who had previously received an amoxicillin prescription. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of 12 items covering nine knowledge parameters: drug classification, administration rules, dosage, adherence to schedule, appropriate indications, duration of use, legal access, side effects, and common misconceptions. Results: The results showed that 52.94% of respondents had a moderate level of knowledge, 36.47% had a good level of knowledge, and 10.59% had a poor level of knowledge. The highest knowledge score was found in the classification parameter (98.82%), while the lowest scores were in side effects (48.24%) and common misconceptions (49.41%). Conclusion: Patients generally demonstrated adequate knowledge of the basic aspects of amoxicillin use; however, gaps remain in understanding the risks of resistance, side effects, and appropriate indications. Strengthening education and implementing continuous interventions are essential to encourage rational antibiotic use.
