Abstract

Health is one of the elements of a prosperous society, namely achieving the right to a healthy life for all levels of society through a health system that can guarantee protection of society from various risks that can affect health and the availability of quality, affordable and equitable health services. School-aged children are a critical age group, because at that age a child is vulnerable to health problems. Brushing your teeth is the easiest and most effective way to do it properly and correctly so that food residue can really be removed from the surface of your teeth. Based on this explanation, it is very important to provide information early and correctly about how to wash hands with soap and brush teeth properly so that children can avoid various diseases. This health education activity uses material delivery, distribution of toothbrushes and toothpaste as well as demonstrations on how to wash hands with soap and how to brush teeth properly and correctly. To make the counseling interesting, we provide door prizes for participants who can repeat the technique of washing hands with soap and brushing teeth properly and correctly and can answer questions asked by the instructor. The results of the activity show that there is an effect of education on how to wash your hands with soap and how to brush your teeth properly and correctly with soap at Priyayi Mosque Elementary School. It is hoped that this community service activity will enable children to understand and practice the techniques of how to brush their teeth properly and correctly and how to wash their hands with soap in their daily lives, both at home and at school
