Masalah karies gigi di kalimantan selatan yang dialami anak usia 5-9 tahun 56,17% dan usia 10-14 tahun 46,67%. Prevalensi masalah gigi rusak atau berlubang untuk wilayah Kabupaten Banjar sebesar 43,34%, termasuk ke tiga tertinggi di Kalimantan Selatan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh berkumur air kelapa muda terhadap pH saliva pada siswa SDN Kaliukan 2 Desa Kaliukan Kecamatan Astambul Kabupaten Banjar. Jenis penelitian eksperimen semu dengan rancangan penelitian Pretest dan Posttest One Group Design. Teknik pengambilan sampel adalah Total Sampling dengan pengambilan sampel 59 orang. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pH saliva sebelum berkumur air kelapa muda sebanyak 100ml sebesar 7,17, sedangkan pH saliva sesudah berkumur air kelapa muda sebesar 6,75. Berdasarkan hasil uji statistik dengan uji Paired T-test didapatkan hasil nilai ρ = 0,000 < ɑ = 0,05, artinya Ho ditolak dan Ha diterima. Kesimpulannya ada pengaruh berkumur air kelapa muda terhadap pH saliva pada siswa SDN Kaliukan 2 Desa Kaliukan Kecamatan Astambul Kabupaten Banjar. It is recommended that after gargling young coconut water, gargle again with plain water to neutralize the pH of the saliva again.

The problem of dental caries in South Kalimantan is 56.17% experienced by children aged 5-9 years and 46.67% aged 10-14 years. The prevalence of damaged or cavities in the Banjar Regency area is 43.34%, including the third highest in South Kalimantan. This study aims to determine the effect of gargling young coconut water on saliva pH in students at SDN Kaliukan 2, Kaliukan Village, Astambul District, Banjar Regency. This type of quasi-experimental research with a Pretest and Posttest One Group Design. The sampling technique was Total Sampling by taking a sample of 59 people. The results of this study indicate that the average pH of saliva before gargling 100ml of young coconut water was 7.17, while the average pH of saliva after gargling young coconut water was 6.75. Based on the results of statistical tests using the Paired T-test, the value ρ = 0,000 < ɑ = 0,05, meaning Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. The conclusion obtained is that there is an effect of gargling young coconut water on the pH of saliva in students at SDN Kaliukan 2, Kaliukan Village, Astambul District, Banjar Regency. It is recommended to consume young coconut water after consuming alkaline foods or drinks, because young coconut water can reduce the pH saliva.
