Abstract :
Dental and oral health is a health problem that
requires comprehensive treatment, because dental
problems are broad-dimensional and have a wide impact
that includes physical, mental, and social factors for
individuals suffering from dental diseases (Amelia et al.
2022). One of the dominant dental and oral health
diseases in Indonesia is dental caries or cavities. Dental
caries makes children experience loss of chewing power
and impaired digestion, resulting in suboptimal growth
(Kusmana 2021). Nutritional problems in school-age
children are health problems that affect the future and
intelligence of children, it requires more serious attention,
one of which is nutritional status. Nutritional intake is
very much needed at the beginning of children's growth
and development, school-age children are the age most
vulnerable to the occurrence of dental caries because of
poor child hygiene patterns, and poor children's diet, so
that if there is a nutritional imbalance it can cause
prolonged consequences and can settle on biological
functions and salivary glands. The type of research used
is quantitative observational analysis with a cross
sectional approach. The sampling technique was carried
out using the Slovin formula where the number of
samples obtained was 40 respondents.
The nutritional status obtained in the undernutrition
criteria was 12 (30%), normal criteria were 23 (57.5%),
overweight criteria were 5 (12.5%). Meanwhile, the
caries rate obtained in the very low category was 28
(70%), the low criteria were 7 (17.5%), the medium
criteria were 1 (2.5%), and the high criteria were 5
(10%). A sig of 0.000 (<0.000) was obtained, which means
that there is an influence between nutritional satatus and
the incidence of dental caries.
It is recommended that the school implement UKGS
well so that it can pay attention to the dental and oral
health of students. Then students and parents are
expected to be more concerned about dental and oral
health, pay attention to the food consumed so as not to
cause dental caries and nutritional status problems.
