In a bid to halt a growing epidemic of tooth decay, delegates from Drexel University, USA conducted a Workshop on ‘Oral Health & Hygiene’ at Akal Academy, Chugawan (In the Memory of S.Chambail Singh).
The delegates included Dr. Jill B Derstine, Dr. Marylou McHugh, Dr. Diane Depew , Dr.Julia Mazurak. They received a warm welcome by the students and the staff members. The workshop was mainly focused on Oral health problems and how to overcome them.
They demonstrated the students how to brush their teeth properly, and added that severe tooth decay is reported among children as young as three and in many cases is starting much earlier. Toothpaste & Tooth Brushes were distributed to each student.
They stated that,” Oral health is everyone’s responsibility and by expanding Oral Health education to the wider community through education centres can all play a role, helping in reducing dental decay and ultimately improve the oral health of the rural population.
It was great learning experience & interaction session for the students!
