JAMMU, Nov 21: A free dental check up-cum-awareness camp was organized at Bharat Sevashram Sangha Ashram, Panjgrain (Nagrota) by the Dental Surgeons of Swami Vivekananda Medical Mission, Amphalla.
At least 500 students and locals were examined in the camp. Apart from treatment, the students were made aware about dental health and hygiene by the team of experts and doctors.
Dental Surgeon, Dr Rohin Gupta, of Swami Vivekananda Medical Mission along with his team examined them. They provided free dental kits and medicines during the camp.
Dr Gupta said that the modern eating habits are one of the biggest reasons for dental problems. “If we regularly visit our dentist and follow good eating habits we can avoid oral problems. But in modern hectic life we are least bothered about our oral care and that contributes to our oral problems”, he added.
He also explained in detail the procedure and techniques of oral care. He briefed the gathering about techniques of brushing. He also gave tips for keeping the teeth and gums in good shape.
He said that most of the dental diseases can be prevented by simple practice of brushing twice daily with a soft bristle brush. The basic aim of brushing should be to remove a thin bio film known as plaque.
