Oral health is still a problem in Indonesia, including Manado. General sources of dental health problems are closely related to the behavior of dental and oral hygiene maintenance. Although Dental Health Education (DHE) could change the bad behavior, it still depends on the media or educational tools. This study aimed to analyze the differences in the effectiveness of DHE with booklet and flipchart media on the improvement of dental health knowledge of students in SDN 126 Manado. This was a quasi experiment with two group pre-test post-test design. Samples were students of SDN 126 aged 8-10 years obtained by using total sampling method. The samples were divided into two treatment groups: booklet media and flip chart media. Data were statistically analyzed by using the Mann-Whitney test with a confidence level of 95% (p<0.05). The results showed that in improving dental health knowledge of students the DHE using booklet media had a p-value = 0.025 and the DHE using flip chart media had a p-value = 0.008. The statistical test comparing the effectiveness of DHE using both media showed a p-value = 0.688. Conclusion: DHE using booklet media was as effective as DHE using flip chart media in improving the oral health knowledge of students of SDN 126 Manado.Keywords: DHE, booklet media, flipchart media, students’ knowledgeAbstrak: Kesehatan gigi dan mulut hingga kini masih menjadi masalah di Indonesia, termasuk di kota Manado.
