Our 3rd successive year of being associated with the Voluntary Health Association of Goa.
We kick-started our dental camps at Green Meadows School in Saligao,Goa. An International School, we examined students of classes 5 to 10, coming from varied ethnic backgrounds. Was a very interactive camp, children were well-aware of their oral hygiene and have sought dental treatment in the past. The school principal and teachers believe in overall-growth and development of children, which is a great sign of progress.
St. Joseph’s Convent High School and Fr. Agnel multi-purpose High School, Verna, where we screened more than 350 students from classes 1 to 10. We noted that varied dietary patterns play a major role in determining the caries factor, so does dental education and access to dental facilities.
