Maintaining dental and oral hygiene is one of the efforts to improve dental and oral health. Children must be taught from an early age to have healthy teeth. One appropriate method for providing education to young children is by playing with stick boards and playmates. The aim of this research was to determine the difference in effectiveness between playing with stick boards and playmates in increasing knowledge of dental and oral health maintenance among Kindergarten Plus Tunas Bangsa students. This research method uses a quasi-experiment with a two group pretest posttest design. Sampling was carried out using a total sampling technique with the number of respondents in this study being 34 students. The data analysis technique uses the Wilcoxon test to determine the effect of the two media on maintaining dental health and the Mann Whitney test to see the difference in effectiveness between the sticky board and playmate media on maintaining dental and oral health. The results of the research show that there is a difference in effectiveness between playing with stick boards and playmates in increasing knowledge of maintaining oral health with the results of the Mann Whitney test getting a value of p=0.000 (p<0,05). It can be concluded that sticky board media is more effective for kindergarten students to use than playmate media.

The prevalence of dental caries in Indonesia is estimated to be 80%. In children aged between six and 11 years, dental caries is a chronic condition that is prevalent and relatively high. Nevertheless, some measures can be taken, such as the application of topical fluoride. Nevertheless, a considerable number of parents remain unaware of the topical application of fluoride. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of an educational animation on parental knowledge about topical fluoride applications. The study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group, pretest-post-test design. The population of this study consisted of all parents (mothers and guardians) of students at DTA Al-Fath, totalling 18 individuals. The sampling method employed was total sampling. The data were analysed using the paired sample t-test. The results of the paired sample t-test indicate that the average level of parental knowledge regarding topical fluoride applications prior to the implementation of the educational intervention was 45.83. Following the provision of instruction via the medium of animation, the level of parental awareness regarding topical applications of fluoride increased, with an average score of 86.67. The findings of this study indicate a significant impact on the level of parental awareness regarding topical fluoride applications in DTA Al-Fath, both before and after the implementation of an educational intervention utilising animated media. The statistical significance of this impact is evidenced by a p-value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05
