Abstract


Even though 94.2% of people have brushed their teeth every day, only 2.3% did it at the right time, namely after breakfast and before going to bed at night. This has an impact on the emergence of dental health problems, namely caries. Caries can affect the level of health in the process of growth and development and the future of children, such as a decrease in children's learning ability which can affect learning achievement. This educational activity aims to enable target students to keep their teeth and mouth clean, they can be disciplined in caring for their teeth, using the GIGI.ID application. This educational activity was carried out in collaboration with PT. Senyum Sehat Indonesia provides education about dental health using the GIGI.ID application is the first telemedicine application that focuses on dental and oral health in Indonesia.
