32nd ANNIVERSARY

32nd ANNIVERSARY

Post by: Dr. Fernando Noronha

32  is a milestone in dentistry. It signifies the number of permanent teeth in your mouth and sometimes the number of painful visits to your friendly dentist 🙂

YEARS in your life can mean the happy, the wild ,  the boring drilling, the fun achieving, the tiring and the fulfilling…. In my case all together a satisfying period spent with so many who were a part of this journey.

A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear. Giving you one of them is the most rewarding experience which has kept us focused and committed to this field. Even more challenging is the varied cases we encounter and the innumerable teeth we save.

32 years has seen me growing from one chair to five operatories, a specialized children’s dentistry and a unique home dentistry for the non-ambulatory, sick or housebound patient.

You Made It All Happen…..

Along with my core team, I am eternally grateful to all of you who have been a support and have entrusted your pearls in our hands and continue to do so with utmost faith in our services and quality of care. We reiterate our commitment to society by providing the best of dental treatments with the latest materials and techniques to bring back the smiles to where they belong..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kiddies Dental Camps

Kiddies Dental Camps

Our last camp with Voluntary Health Association of Goa for the year 2017

Dr. Fernando, Dr. Denise and Dr. Roshni screened 150 students of Govt. Primary and Middle School in Zuarinagar. Was quite an interactive camp wherein students, aged 6-14 years,  asked us about what needs to be done in case of a toothache, and how to make their teeth whiter.

We wish to carry out more camps, reaching out to the underprivileged, and most of all children.

After a brief hiatus, Dr. Fernando’s Dental Clinic, is back again with their community programmes.

The Voluntary Health Association of Goa organized a health camp at Our Lady of Mercy English High School, Vasco.  Dr Fernando Noronha’s clinic was invited to do the dental checkups. It was my first time going for a dental camp and I was really excited.  So we packed our dental kit and scampered off to Vasco for a 2 day camp on 24th & 25th of July 2017.

As soon as we began the screening, we realized the children had a lot of misconceptions and fears about dental treatment, and so we set about allaying their fears.

The first day we attended to students from the 8th to 10th std and on the next day we attended to the 5th to 7th std students,  which were around 600 students.  The children were given a talk and demonstration on the importance of oral hygiene and its maintenance.

We realized that many students had never visited a dentist for any treatment and so many were in need of urgent work. There was this one child who was suffering with dental problems but unfortunately he couldn’t undergo the treatment due to lack of financial means. I personally feel government support or sponsors are required to help such children undergo basic treatment. Overall the experience was satisfying and I look forward to such camps.

We at Dr. Fernando Noronha’s Dental Clinic, organised an oral screening and health awareness camp at Busy Bee High School, Vasco.
Voluntary Health Association of Goa has been doing a fantastic job, and we feel happy to be associated with them.
As a budding dentist, striving to keep up with ever-changing advancements made in this field, I realise that we have a life long responsibility of educating and spreading awareness.

Dental meet at Bangkok

Dental meet at Bangkok

A Trip to Bangkok is always exciting. The anticipation of the sights, culture, shopping, shows and massages  all add to the excitement. Dr. Anagha and myself were looking forward to the visit to the famous Chulalongkorn University campus on their 75th anniversary year.
img_1336With a fantastic line up of lectures and presentations by the faculty of Dentistry at the university campus, and a visit to the museums of human anatomy and the dental campus, it was an awesome experience. The college is a very advanced complex of buildings housing different specialities and well networked to provide the best care to the patients there. Some times Free dental treatments are provided  to patients on various occasions or on the request of the Queen.

The country was in mourning during this time, because of the passing away of their beloved King, but life was pretty normal and the sentiment was felt in the dress of the “Aam Admi”. they all wore black, some on their arms, or tops or dresses or whatever. It was seen everywhere.

A visit to the GOLDEN Buddha, the weekly market at Chatuchak, and a trip to Pattaya sealed the trip for everyone. As for the massage…… I’ll tell you later sometime 🙂 🙂
