ABSTRACT

Effective oral hygiene and brushing techniques are crucial for preventing dental diseases. Pimpinan Cabang Istimewa Aisyiah (PCIA) Japan, a prominent organization serving Indonesian Muslim women, has the potential to significantly improve Muslim health through community service programs focused on Islamic health education. Recognizing the challenges faced by Muslims in Japan, there is a key opportunity to positively impact health through education initiatives. This public health education initiative aims to equip the Muslim community with comprehensive knowledge and awareness regarding the importance of health maintenance within the framework of Islamic values, with a focus on educating the Muslim community of PCIA Japan on oral hygiene practices. This activity involved 11 participants from PCIA Japan. The program was conducted via Zoom, allowing participation from various locations. Participants completed a pre-test with five questions on toothbrushing before the session, followed by a post-test. The initiative focused on promoting healthy lifestyles, oral hygiene, and Islamic-guided brushing techniques. Following education, participants' knowledge of oral hygiene improved, demonstrating the program’s effectiveness.
