Healthy Body-Healthy Mouth
There
is a Chinese proverb that goes like this: "A smile will gain you ten more
years of life." These words were written countless centuries ago, yet
today they ring more true than ever. The links between oral health and overall
health are being established on a near daily basis and the implications are
astounding!
Thus, HEALTHY BODY – HEALTHY MOUTH is the
new motive of Witty International School, PawanBaug, who recently conducted
their annual Dental Check-up camp for its students. Dr. Pooja Karande and team
conducted the camp. The doctors visited the school and all the students right
from Grade VI to A Level took benefit of the camp.
The objective of this checkup camp
was to examine the oral hygiene of the school children and diagnose the dental
problems faced by them.The routine dental check-up included an exam by the
dentist to inspect teeth and a cleaning. Dentists
discussed the child’s eating and brushing habits, as well as the damage sugary
foods and candy can have on their young teeth. They also answered questions and
taught the children the proper ways to care for their teeth and mouth.
With
the help of this check up issues such as toothache, bad breath, and tooth decay were
detected ahead of time and were corrected.Post the dental checkup, majority
of the children were advised to undergo further treatment of cleaning of teeth,
filling of teeth, removal of teeth, etc
