Abstract: Pregnant women are vulnerable to dental problems, as during pregnancy, the occurrence of nausea and vomiting increases often. Besides, the habit of pregnant women is also a contributing factor. The high prevalence of dental problems in pregnant women has become a challenge. Pregnant women rarely come to the dentist during pregnancy. In consequence, the dental health status of pregnant women becomes worse. However, poor dental care knowledge, attitude, and skills have become the problem. The problem worsens with low dental health promotion means. This study aims to evaluate the use of flipcharts LEMBAPIN as low-cost dental promotion media towards midwives on the knowledge, attitude, and skills about dental care during pregnancy. The USG (Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth) and Cost Analysis were performed to determine the root problem and priority problem- solving alternatives. The sample for this study was 6 midwives in Mlonggo Public Health Service, Jepara Regency. The respondents were evaluated with pre-test and post-tests about knowledge, attitude, and skills related to dental health care for pregnant women. The instrument employed questionnaires. The results use of flipchart media named LEMBAPIN containing dental health materials and implemented to midwives resulted in the increase of knowledge from fair level (16.7%) to excellent level (66.7%), attitude from fair level (16.7%) to excellent level (50%), and skills from fair (16.7%) to excellent (83.3%). In conclusion, flipchart media has managed to increase the level of knowledge, attitude, and skills of midwives about dental care to pregnant women patients.
