One of the training sessions featured drg. Listrianto Hanindrio, M.Ph., Ph.D., a lecturer at the Faculty of Dentistry (FKG) UGM, who delivered a comprehensive presentation covering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1.\tAnatomy of the teeth and oral cavity<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Including the functions of the lips, tongue, gums, soft tissues, and tooth structures (enamel, dentin, pulp, and cementum).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.\tStages of tooth development in children and adults<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Primary teeth (20 teeth) begin to erupt at around 6 months of age. The mixed dentition period occurs between ages 6\u201314 years. Permanent teeth number 28\u201332, with third molars erupting at ages 17\u201321. Drg. Listrianto emphasized the importance of not extracting primary teeth prematurely, as they guide the eruption of permanent teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.\tHow to maintain oral and dental health<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cadres were trained to provide education on: Proper toothbrushing technique for 2 minutes. Selecting fluoridated toothbrushes and toothpaste. Ideal brushing times: after breakfast and before bedtime. The use of dental floss instead of toothpicks. Avoiding high-sugar foods and choosing fiber-rich foods<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.\tHarmful habits to avoid<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n These include thumb sucking in children, biting pencils or hard objects, drinking milk from a bottle while sleeping, opening bottles with teeth, and smoking. All of these habits increase the risk of abnormal tooth development, dental caries, gum disease, and even oral cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n UGM Reaffirms Its Commitment to National Service<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Through this national-scale program, UGM hopes to produce resilient health cadres who can serve as the frontline of health education, promotion, and early detection within communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA healthy society is the foundation of a strong nation. Health cadres are agents of change in making this a reality,\u201d stated UGM leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n UGM also expressed its appreciation to all organizing committees, healthcare workers, speakers, and partner Puskesmas heads who supported the successful implementation of this important agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Andri Wicaksono)<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yogyakarta, 20 November 2025 Dalam rangka Dies Natalis ke-76 Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), klaster kesehatan UGM menyelenggarakan program pelatihan nasional bagi kader kesehatan dan supervisor Puskesmas dari seluruh Indonesia.
