Healthy Teeth for Happy Smiles
In continuation of health check up camps held
regularly, a dental checkup and awareness camp was recently organized at Witty
International School, Pawan Baug. A team
of Senior Specialist Dental Surgeons, Dr. Vijay Karande , Dr. Pooja Karande and
their para-medical staff carried out a comprehensive dental checkup for the
secondary section students. The camp educated students on dental health awareness,
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 surgeons also highlighted 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. “Added sugars often are present in soft
drinks, candies, cookies, pastries and therefore to help control the consumption
of sugar one must read the food labels and choose the right foods and beverages
that are low in added sugar”, quoted Dr. Pooja Karande.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 Head Mistress thanked the dental surgeons
and the para-medical staff for rendering moral and selfless service to the
school.
