Abstract

This dedication aims to improve the knowledge and practice of toothbrushing among students at SD Swasta PAB 1 Klumpang who had low knowledge and practice of oral hygiene before starting the program. The Universitas Muslim Nusantara AL-Washliyah Community Service Program (KKN) program was carried out for 21 days with learning activities in the form of teaching practical techniques, demonstrations and technical training, as well as distributing toothbrushes and toothpaste. The evaluation results showed a significant increase in students' knowledge regarding toothbrushing techniques and the importance of oral hygiene. Positive changes in brushwork were also visible, with many students using the correct technique. The collected data is analyzed and shows the effectiveness of educational programs in increasing students' knowledge and clean living habits. The results report provides an overview of the effectiveness of the training program and provides recommendations for improvement and development. This project was successful in increasing awareness and practice of toothbrushing at SD Swasta PAB 1 Klumpang. These findings are important and guide for future improvement initiatives.
