Abstract

This community service initiative aimed to enhance the dental health knowledge of the residents of Pojok Village, a neighborhood near the Universitas Kadiri campus in Kediri City, through the provision of electronic media-based health education. A pre- and post-test quasi-experimental design was employed to assess the effectiveness of the intervention. A total of 50 adult residents of Pojok Village participated in the program. Dental health education materials, including information on common dental diseases, proper brushing techniques, and the importance of regular dental check-ups, were disseminated using readily accessible electronic media such as short videos and infographics shared via a community WhatsApp group. Knowledge levels were assessed using a validated questionnaire administered before and after the educational intervention. Statistical analysis using a paired t-test was conducted to determine the significance of the knowledge improvement. The results demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the dental health knowledge scores of the Pojok Village community following the electronic media-based education (p < 0.001). This initiative highlights the effectiveness of utilizing accessible electronic media to deliver dental health education and underscores its potential for improving community awareness and promoting better oral hygiene practices in peri-urban areas. Keywords: Dental Health Education, Electronic Media, Community Knowledge, Oral Hygiene, Pojok Village, Universitas Kadiri, Community Service
