Dental Check-up Camp

Happy teeth for happy smiles!!!

With an aim to establish and promote the importance of good oral care habits, a free oral dental check-up camp was organised on 10th October,2019 at St. John International School by team of doctors from Dental Solutions headed by Dr. Anirudh Bhaidkar and Dr. Radha.
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 them. The students were briefed 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 check-up each student was given a Patient Card, a report summary of the diagnosed problem and the recommended dental treatment plan.
The dental surgeons vividly explained about the possible formation of harmful acid which develops when bacteria (plaque) get in contact with sugar in the mouth which ultimately results in tooth decay. The camp gave the opportunity to assess the oral health awareness among the students and learn about the oral hygiene practices which are of great importance in day to day life.
