Toothache is one of the most common health problems in the community and is often managed through self-medication using analgesic drugs. Limited knowledge regarding the appropriate use of analgesics may increase the risk of irrational drug use. This study aimed to determine the relationship between community knowledge and the use of analgesics for toothache in the working area of Guntur I Community Health Center, Demak. This study employed a quantitative analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 99 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using the Spearman Rho test with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that most respondents had a moderate level of knowledge (41 respondents; 41.4%) and a moderate level of analgesic use (48 respondents; 48.5%). The Spearman Rho test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05) and a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.862, indicating a very strong positive relationship between community knowledge and the use of analgesics for toothache. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between community knowledge and the use of analgesics for toothache in the working area of Guntur I Community Health Center, Demak. Improving public education on the rational use of medicines is essential to promote safe and appropriate self-medication practices.
