A child should be seen
by a pediatric dentist, no matter how young that child is, if the parent thinks
there could be a dental problem. No child is too young for good dental health.
Keeping health and
hygiene as a prior importance in the school curriculum a thorough Dental
Checkup was organized for the children in association with Clove Dentals under Smiles for Schoolsinitiative.
The camp was initiated with dental awareness talk, educating students about
common dental ailments, especially stressing on tooth decay and gum diseases
and measures to prevent from them. The students were highlighted about
the eating patterns and food choices which cause tooth decay. The students got
ample opportunities to interact with the dental surgeons to enquire and gain
knowledge concerning oral diseases. On completion of the dental checkup each
student was given a Patient Card, a report summary of the diagnosed problem and
the recommended dental treatment plan.
The Dental Checkup enlightened not only the
parents but also provided the school an opportunity to give the best treatment
to the children.
