A Camp was organized in WIS on World Smile Day i.e. 3rd October 2015 as a means to disseminate knowledge about common oral diseases and the importance of oral health care.

A team of Senior Specialist Dental Surgeon  Dr. Nagesh Bhatt and para-medical staff carried out a comprehensive dental check-up on students of Grade 1 to Grade 12. The Camp aimed at improving public awareness on oral health and hygiene through healthy eating, proper brushing and flossing, and visiting the dentist regularly.

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 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.  The students got ample opportunities to interact with the dental surgeons to inquire and gain knowledge concerning oral diseases.
