Abstract
Background: The cause of the problem as a risk factor for the high prevalence of oral health issues in the Puskesmas Kedungmundu working area is a lack of understanding of the importance of oral health and poor dental care habits. This can manifest as improper teeth brushing behavior, especially among children. Objective: This community engagement initiative aims to improve proper teeth brushing behavior in children by utilizing the "Gigit Beras" Pocket Book. Method: The methods employed in this community engagement endeavor include the creation of the "Gigit Beras" Pocket Book, education on the correct teeth brushing techniques by the content of the pocketbook, and the evaluation of teeth brushing behaviors in children. The target participation is 50 individuals, comprising mothers and their children. Result: There was a significant change in children's tooth-brushing behavior after using the pocketbook. The proportion of children not following proper teeth brushing practices has dropped dramatically from 84% to 12%, while the proportion of those following correct practices has increased from 16% to 88%. Conclusion: The "Gigit Beras" pocketbook effectively enhances children's oral health and promotes better dental care behaviors.
