Abstract: Search behavior of dental disease treatment in society. Tooth decay can cause pain and chewing disorders that affect the health of parts of the body. Most sufferers will seek treatment because of pain in their teeth. treatment includes three interrelated sectors, namely household medicine/self-medication using drugs, traditional medicines, or traditional methods, medical treatment done by nurses, doctors, health centers or hospitals, and traditional medicine. The purpose of this study is to obtain in-depth information about the factors that cause the behavior of the people of Kupang to choose traditional medicine or self-medication. This research uses the Rapid Assessment Procedure (RAP) design. The sample in this study were informants who were experiencing or had experienced toothache aged 18 years and over. The results showed that almost all Informants (10) knew what dental caries was and the causes of dental caries, knew the risk of tooth cavities were left and not patched and knew that dental caries/cavities could only be overcome by going to the community health centers to be patched at the Poly tooth. Perceptions of traditional medicine informants assume that traditional medicine can treat pain only temporarily. Perception of Modern Medicine, most informants had visited the 9 health centers, the informants considered that the problem of toothache could be overcome by going to the health center for treatment. 7 of 9 informants had treated their teeth by using traditional or modern medicine, 3 out of 9 The informant assumed that his tooth problems were not resolved because his sick teeth had recurred after being patched. The cost of treatment at the community health centers is not an obstacle for informants because almost all informants use health cards / BPJS. 4 The informant considers that the transportation costs incurred from the place of residence to the community health centers are quite expensive.

For the Committee, and its subcommittee most closely involved, Dr. Christopherson and Dr. Yankauer replied to this letter as follows: At one stage in the development of the Committee's Statement on Child Health and Community Health Centers in the Americas, it included almost all the points which Dr. Elbualy has raised in his letter. These were eventually reduced to a few words in the eighth and ninth paragraphs of the published statement which refer to the "overwhelming social, economic, and cultural inequities and inadequacies" which lead to high mortality among the children of the poor.
