The school organised dental check-up camp with an aim to establish and promote the importance of good oral care habits. The camp was initiated with dental awareness talk, educating students about common dental ailments, especially stressing on tooth decay and gum diseases and measures to prevent them. The students were briefed about the eating patterns and food choices which cause tooth decay. The dentists vividly explained 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 are often 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,” they added. Principal of the school Suchi Grover said the camp gave the opportunity to assess the oral health awareness among the students and learn about the oral hygiene practices which are of great importance in day-to-day life.
