This is related to the data on the behavior of brushing teeth properly after breakfast and before going to bed at night which is only 3.7%. Objective: This study was to analyze the effect of the simulation method of brushing teeth using the bass technique on the improvement of tooth brushing skills in elementary school children. Method: This study used a pre-experimental design with a pretest and posttest with a one group design. The research was conducted at SDN 2 Baumata Timur, Taebenu District, Kupang Regency. The research sample was taken by purposive sampling technique, as many as 100 students. The instrument for collecting data on brushing teeth skills used an observation sheet. Analysis of the research data using the Wilcoxon test. Result: simulation method of brushing teeth with bass technique is effective in improving brushing skills (p<0.001). Conclusion: The simulation method of brushing teeth with the bass technique is effective in improving the brushing skills of elementary school children.
