Abstract

Oral health is an integral part of general health, yet many elementary school children have low levels of knowledge regarding proper oral care. Preliminary findings at MI Miftahul Falah Sinanggul showed that most fifth-grade students were categorized as having poor oral health knowledge. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Dental Hunt Treasure Map, an interactive game-based educational media, in improving students’ knowledge of oral health. A pre–posttest design was applied in which students’ knowledge was measured using a structured questionnaire before and after the intervention. The intervention involved the use of the Dental Hunt Treasure Map, designed to deliver oral health messages through engaging tasks and activities. Data were analyzed to assess the changes in knowledge scores. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge after the intervention, with more students achieving good knowledge levels and fewer remaining in the poor category. These findings indicate that interactive, game-based educational tools are effective in supporting oral health education among school-aged children. In conclusion, the Dental Hunt Treasure Map proved to be an effective medium for increasing students’ knowledge of oral health and has potential as an attractive, practical, and easily understood alternative for school-based health promotion programs.

Abstract

Elementary school age children are classified as a group that is prone to dental and oral diseases, this is because in elementary school age children behavior in caring for dental and oral health is still lacking. The results of Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2018 showed that 54.0% of dental and oral health problems were 5-9 years old in school. The dental and oral health of school-age children needs serious attention from health workers, both from dentists and dental and oral therapists. The most common disease suffered by elementary school-age children is caries. The main cause of caries is due to the continuous accumulation of plaque that is not cleaned. Dental health education needs to be instilled from an early age in children so that they know the right way to maintain the health and hygiene of their teeth and mouth. Efforts to prevent the occurrence of dental and oral diseases in elementary school children are by conducting a dental and oral health education program for students. The goal is to increase students' knowledge in maintaining and maintaining dental health. The methods used in this service are the method of playing, lecturing, and demonstrating to the respondents. Based on the results of the activities that have been carried out in the service, the respondents gave a positive response and there was an increase in knowledge and dental and oral hygiene.
