Abstract

Dental and oral health problems in Indonesia have a high morbidity rate. These problems can be related to a lack of dental health knowledge. Health promotion is an effort to overcome this lack of knowledge. Health promotion can be done in various ways. Health promotion carried out in children can encourage children to have the right behavior in maintaining dental health. This community service program is carried out by providing dental health education to children in Celep, Srigading, Bantul. There were 19 children who participated, aged 6 to 12 years. The effect of counseling on children's knowledge shows that there is an increase after getting dental health education using dental dolls as the media.
