Abstract: Besides caries, tooth and mouth disease commonly found in children is gingival inflammation (gingivitis). The high prevalence of gingivitis in Indonesia is due to the fact that most people have not adopted good and effective habits in tooth brushing. Indicators determining the effectiveness of tooth brushing consist of tooth brushing time, frequency, duration, and method. This study was aimed to determine the overview of tooth brushing habit and gingival health status among elementary school students. This was a literature review study using the Google Scholar database. The keywords used were brushing habits, gingival health status, and elementary school children. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a critical appraisal was carried out that obtained 4 literatures consisting of 2 cross-sectional studies and 2 descriptive surveys. The results showed that most children had good habit of tooth brushing, however there were some children who had poor habit tooth brushing due to lack of understanding about the time, method, duration, and frequency of tooth brushing. The most common gingival disease was categorized as mild inflammation, followed by moderate inflammation; no severe inflammation criteria was reported. In conclusion, most elementary school students had good habit of tooth brushing and the most common gingival disease was in mild inflammation.Keywords: habit of brushing teeth, gingival health status, and elementary school children. Abstrak: Penyakit gigi dan mulut yang banyak ditemukan pada anak selain karies ialah peradangan gingiva (gingivitis).

Hasil penelitian mendapatkan sebagian besar anak melakukan kebiasaan menyikat gigi dengan baik namun masih terdapat anak dengan kebiasaan menyikat gigi yang buruk akibat kurangnya pengertian mengenai waktu menyikat gigi, frekuensi, durasi, dan metode.
