Introduction to dental hygiene at an early age is very important. This is because dental health will be able to improve the overall quality of health of children. The aim of carrying out this community service activity was to train pre-school children in brushing their teeth properly and correctly, so that they are able to do it independently. This activity was carried out at An-Nur Kindergarten, Peterongan, Jombang with the target being all 150 students at An-Nur Kindergarten, Peterongan, Jombang.
