Oral health awareness campaign

Many dental issues tend to get ignored in case of kids, and eventually, they would be losing their teeth. But the primary teeth serve important functions like saving space for the permanent teeth and helping with chewing and speaking. So the oral health and hygiene of the tiny-tots should be given utmost priority.

Understanding the need of creating awareness about the oral health amongst the children, V.P.M’s Balodyan Section organized an ‘Oral health awareness campaign’ in association with ‘Indian Dental Association’ (IDA) for all the students of Balodyan section, on 18^th August’2017. The children were explained the consequences of poor oral hygiene and poor food choices, the need to brush their teeth twice, the correct technique of brushing, gargling after every meal and avoiding sweet treats as much as possible.

The campaign focused on instilling the importance of oral health and hygiene in the young minds.
