Abstract: Oral diseases can profoundly affect a person’s overall well-being, resulting in persistent pain, discomfort, and challenges with basic functions such as eating, speaking, and carrying out daily tasks. The acquisition of healthy behaviours is a complex process that can be facilitated by health education. Utilizing gaming media presents an effective method for delivering dental health education. This study aims to increase knowledge about dental health. 52 children were presented with 8 questions about dental health and 10 about healthy foods for dental health. A pretest-posttest design was used to measure the effectiveness of increasing the children’s knowledge in this area. The study results stated a significance value of less than 0.05 (0,001) for dental health and foods for dental health. The results show an increase in knowledge about dental health and good food for dental health. Video Game is an innovative way to improve children’s understanding of dental and oral care practices.
