Eighty students were examined in the camp. Apart from treatment, the students were made aware about dental health and hygiene by the team of experts and doctors. SACE provided free dental kits to all the participants during the camp. SACE President Akshay Bajpai and Khulte Pankh Society Secretary Tariq Khan were present during the camp.
Dental Surgeon, Dr Varsha Sharma, Dr Prakash Singh, Dr Ashwini Parashar and Dr Amit Kumar Goit of Mansarovar Dental College, Bhopal examined students. Dr Prakash Singh told that the modern eating habits are one of the biggest reasons for dental problems. “If we regularly visit our dentist and follow good eating habits we can avoid oral problems. But in modern hectic life we are least bothered about our oral care and that contributes to our oral problems”, she added.
He also explained in detail the procedure and techniques of oral care. Dr Ashwini said that most of the dental diseases can be prevented by simple practice of brushing twice daily with a soft bristle brush. The basic aim of brushing should be to remove a thin bio film known as plaque. School Principal Reeta Agarwal, Centre Coordinator Bhawna Hargunani alongwith faculty members were present during the camp.
