On September 1st, 2025, Alevoor Poornaprajna Public School organised a Dental Awareness Program and Dental Check-Up Camp in collaboration with the Manipal College of Dental Surgery. The initiative aimed to educate students about the importance of oral health and provide them with access to professional dental screening.
Awareness Session: Learning the Basics of Oral Health
The program began with an informative session conducted by dental
professionals. Students were introduced to:
- The
significance of oral hygiene in maintaining overall health.
- Correct brushing
techniques to prevent cavities and gum disease.
- The role of healthy
food habits in ensuring strong teeth and gums.
The interactive session encouraged children to ask questions and
understand how daily practices can help prevent dental problems.
Dental Check-Up: Hands-On Care
A dental check-up camp was organized in the school hall after the
awareness session. Teams of dental doctors and interns examined students
individually. Each child's oral health was assessed, and necessary advice was
given for follow-up care.
The camp created an atmosphere of trust and comfort where students were eager to participate. Many were seen discussing their experiences with their peers, showing a positive attitude toward adopting good dental practices.
Encouraging Preventive Care
The program not only addressed existing dental issues but also stressed preventive
measures. Students were guided on:
- Brushing twice
daily with fluoride toothpaste.
- Avoiding
excessive consumption of sugary foods and drinks.
- Regular dental
visits for early detection of problems.
The camp also highlighted how oral health is directly linked to general
well-being, motivating students to take dental care more seriously.
Token of Appreciation
At the program's conclusion, the school Principal expressed gratitude to
the doctors and volunteers from Manipal College of Dental Surgery. A token of
appreciation was presented to the visiting team, acknowledging their dedicated
efforts in making the camp a success.
Impact on Students
The dental camp proved to be a memorable and educational experience.
Students learned the importance of oral health and had the opportunity to
undergo a free professional check-up. Many pledged to follow the tips shared by
the doctors, reflecting the program's success in instilling awareness and
responsibility.
