Prevention efforts with promotive and preventive efforts through dental health care. The model of early childhood dental health care is a modification of general dental health care.

The intervention model of early childhood dental health care 2. The model of care according to Kepmenkes No. 284 as control. The data were tested using paired sample t-test/ Wilcoxon analysis, namely the pre-post design, while to compare the mean of the treatment and control groups, the independent t-test/Mann Whitney was used.
Results: The results of the difference in knowledge test showed that the p-values between the intervention group and the control group were knowledge p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), independence in brushing teeth p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) and dental hygiene status p = 0.000 (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The application of the model of early childhood dental health care is more effective as an effort to improve the dental health status of early childhood in the dental clinic.
