This community service project was conducted using analytical methods, targeting children and their parents as respondents. Data analysis used univariate analysis using the T-test. The intervention provided included problem-based counseling, measuring children's dental health status, and demonstrating tooth brushing. The results showed an increase in mothers' knowledge, attitudes, and practices, as well as improvements in children's dental hygiene after the educational intervention through home visits using the Sogi Book. The average scores for knowledge, attitudes, and practices decreased (became better) from pre-intervention to post-test 1, and further decreased at post-test 2.
