Effectiveness of Providing a Video on How to Brush Teeth with Roll Technique on Tooth Brushing Skills of Kindergarten Students in Bandung City
Abstract:
Tooth decay in children, which may lead to cavities, is a widespread issue. Improper brushing techniques are a common contributor to decay. Educating children on maintaining good dental care, including through visual aids like videos, can aid in enhancing their oral health. This research seeks to evaluate the impact of tooth brushing videos on the dental hygiene abilities of Kindergarten pupils residing in Bandung City. Our study employed a pre-experimental method and a single-group pre-post-test design. Forty-six students from Kindergarten in Bandung City participated in this study. The findings indicate that prior to watching the tooth-brushing video demonstrating the roller technique, 58.7% of students demonstrated proficient tooth-brushing skills. After viewing the video, 100% of students exhibited good tooth-brushing skills. Therefore, it can be concluded that the tooth-brushing video significantly increased students' skills. The Wilcoxon test analysis showed a p-value of 0.000. Tooth brushing proficiency increased among kindergarten pupils when introduced to a tooth brushing video featuring the "roller" technique, and significant advancements in tooth brushing skills were observed.
