A session on dental and oral hygiene was conducted at DAVPPS Gurugram for students of classes 1 and 2. The session was led by Dr. Gifty, a dentist, and was introduced by the principal, Ms. Nancy Sharma, who warmly welcomed her with a green gesture.
During the session, the children learned about foods that promote dental health and those that can harm it. They were taught the proper amount of toothpaste to use and the correct brushing technique. Awareness about cavities and their causes was also raised, with some students receiving a brief dental checkup and recommendations to consult a dentist for better oral care.
The children were encouraged to include more nuts, vegetables, and fruits in their diet and to choose water over packaged juices and soft drinks when thirsty. The session concluded with Dr. Gifty performing dental checkups. Overall, it was an enriching and informative experience for the students.
