Nearly 1,300 students in Thanh Thuy Ward receive dental care

Nearly 1,300 students received dental care during the program

Running from October 6th to 9th, the program is being implemented under the Project on Improving Capacity for Dental Examination, Treatment and Community Oral Disease Prevention for the 2022-2025 period, with a vision to 2030. It is also part of the 2026 plan for community oral disease prevention.

Nearly 1,300 students at Thuy Duong Primary School received dental care through a range of practical activities. They underwent general oral health examinations, received fillings for simple cases of tooth decay, and had fluoride applied to help prevent cavities.

Alongside examinations, treatment and preventive care, healthcare workers guided students on proper toothbrushing techniques, maintaining oral hygiene and developing daily dental care habits. These essential skills help children take an active role in protecting their oral health from an early age.

Under the approach of ‘early prevention, community-based care’, the School Dental Health Program in Thanh Thuy Ward contributes to improving students' oral health. It also equips them with the knowledge and skills to care for themselves, supporting their healthy development and confidence.
