Abstract

According to data from Riset Kesehatan Dasar 2018 (Riskesdas), 88.8% of Indonesians had dental cavities. The Decayed (D) component contributed the highest number, 4.5, to the average Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) score of 7.1. This demonstrates how widespread oral health and dental issues are in Indonesia. The bulk of dental and oral health issues affect children, who make up half of the world's population. According to data, the percentage of caries in children aged 5 to 9 years was 92.6%, whereas the percentage in children aged 10 to 14 years was 73.4%. This figure illustrates that dental health problems in children are very common and require greater attention. Various factors contribute to the high prevalence of dental and oral problems among children. These factors include individual bad habits, unhealthy diet as well as lack of parental awareness and attention in maintaining children's dental hygiene. Sweet foods and drinks containing excessive sugar, coupled with irregular tooth brushing habits, are one of the main causes of dental caries in children. Therefore, prevention efforts through education about the importance of maintaining oral hygiene and healthy eating patterns are very necessary to reduce dental and oral health problems among children.

Abstract

Background: Children's oral health can be influenced by various factors, including health behaviors, dietary patterns, and oral health knowledge. This study aimed to determine the correlation between oral health behaviors and oral health status in elementary school children. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 182 elementary school children in Bontang, East Kalimantan, taken by convenience sampling. Health behavior data were acquired by 12-item questionnaires based on the WHO guideline. Examination of dental and oral health status was done by using the DMFT Index and OHI-S. Chi-square was used to determine the correlation between oral health behaviors and oral health status. Results: Majority of children had DMFT score index less than or equal to 8 (86.3%) and OHI-S score more than or equal to 1 (54.4%). There was a significant difference between age (p = 0.012) and the dental caries status of children. There was also a significant difference between consumption of biscuits (p = 0.018) and the dental caries status of children. Conclusions: Elementary school children in Bontang, East Kalimantan, still have poor oral health behaviors. Education on the importance of daily toothbrushing, regular dental visits, healthy eating habits, and the use of fluoride-containing toothpaste still needs to be improved.
