In Indonesia, there is a change in diet due to refined carbohydrates, a type of food that is favoured and consumed by children. If we do not brush our teeth right away, the rest of the food is turned into acid by bacteria and causes dental caries. This study aims to determine the most appropriate time for brushing teeth to neutralize the acidity of Saliva after consuming a snack. Research design Quasi-Experimental One Group Pre and post-test design by involving the entire population of 60 people. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon test to prove the effect of before and after brushing teeth after a snack and Friedman’s test to see the effect on the treatment time group. The results of the study are the degree of acidity (pH) of Saliva pre and post brushing teeth 5 minutes after eating an average of 5.85 decreased by 5.60, 15 minutes after eating an average of 5.78 increased by 6.02, and 30 minutes after eating an average of 5.68 increased by 6.10.
