The problem of cavities is still a lot of complaints both children and adults and this cannot be allowed because it will get worse and will affect the quality of life where they will experience pain. However, with the complaint of toothache, many people end up doing self-medication about dental and oral health where it is found that there are still many people who do self-medication. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge, action, and self-medication patterns carried out by patients to overcome complaints of toothache in mothers of children under five at the Posyandu in the Penfui Health Center area.

The sample of this study used accidental sampling, namely mothers of children under five in the Posyandu in the Penfui Health Center area who had experienced a toothache and did self-medication with a sample of 60 respondents. The results obtained for knowledge included in the good criteria, namely 71.70%, the action including the fewer criteria, namely 51.70%, while the self-medication pattern was included in the fewer criteria, namely 65.00%. The results of statistical analysis showed that there was a relationship between knowledge and self-medication pattern with a p-value of 0.014, while for action there was no relationship because the p-value was 0.998. Although the results of the level of knowledge are good, this self-medication pattern must be supported by good and correct actions and self-medication patterns for toothache complaints.
