Abstract

ABSTRACT Dentists are often required to deal with dental health problems curatively but are lacking in providing health promotion programs which include the preventive aspects. Students in the Faculty of Dentistry need to be trained to increase their knowledge and awareness to provide more health promotion to the population. Dental health promotion requires sufficient knowledge and a high level of awareness, which must be understood by students who will later become health service providers to the wider community. The effect of caries on the nutritional status of children is one of the important themes that should be included in the theme of health promotion to the community. The method used in this community service is engagement method using a digital comic as a media. This comic is given to undergraduate students of the Faculty of Dentistry to increase their knowledge and awareness of the effect of caries on children's nutritional status. The results of the pre-test and post-test comparison showed that the digital comic about the effect of caries on children's nutritional status can be used to increase awareness of undergraduate students of the Faculty of Dentistry on this theme.
