When viewed by age, the proportion is 67.3% from the age of 5-9 years, and 55.6% from the age of 10-14 years. This shows that the proportion of oral cavity diseases in school-age children is quite high. Counseling and training on dental and oral health is a learning process aimed at teachers or parents in order to increase the degree of dental and oral health in children to the maximum.
