ABSTRACT
Health development in Indonesia is currently focused on the life cycle starting from
pregnancy to the elderly, known as Continuum of Care. At the implementation of the
National Health Work Meeting in 2018 it was agreed that three health efforts included
tuberculosis treatment, stunting prevention, and immunization. There are several factors
that are interrelated with the incidence of stunting, one of which is dental and oral health
factors in infants. The purpose of this study was to determine the analysis of the
incidence of white spot caries and their relationship with nutritional status in Purwad
Puskesmas in Ciamis District 2019. The study used mixed methods with cross-sectional
and explanatory designs which were preceded by quantitative data analysis in 36 infants
and continued with in-depth interviews with informants . The independent variables of
the research are toddler age, sex, exclusive breastfeeding, formula milk, mother's age,
mother's education, mother's occupation, family income, maintenance of dental and oral
health, and facility facilities. The covariate variable is white spot caries and the
dependent variable is the toddler's nutritional status. The results of this study stated that
the factors that influence the incidence of white spot caries in infants are age and
consumption of formula milk. There is no relationship between white spot caries and
nutritional status in infants. However, risk factors for infants with white spot caries have
a 1.12 times chance of experiencing abnormal nutritional status. The results of the
interviews stated that each case that occurred in the field was required to report and
coordinate between officers for further action. The provision of counseling education is
carried out on an ongoing basis.
