“Dentistry” organizes preventive and awareness campaigns in schools.
The Community Service Unit at the College of Dentistry at Dar Al Uloom University, with the participation of students of the sixth level of the college, organized awareness visits within the school health program for several primary schools, including Dar Al Uloom Schools, the International Section, Al-Minhaj National Schools, Abu Obaida Bin Al-Jarrah Schools, and Al Durra Primary Schools.
Children and teachers were educated about the causes of tooth decay and gum infections, the harmful habits to oral and dental health, and the methods of preventing oral and dental diseases.
The campaign included awareness of the importance of following the correct way to brush teeth, following a healthy diet, and periodic visits to the dentist.
The work team examined the teeth and gave motivational gifts to children, such as toothbrushes and toothpaste.
The events included interactive activities and games to consolidate the information provided and help build a positive image of the dentist to push and encourage the children to visit the dentist.
