Dental Health Awareness & Checkup Camp

My main motivation was to educate the young ones about their personal health, cleanliness and their dental health as nowadays young students are being even more inactive due to all the distractions, social medias and all and in that process they don't care for their own health and cleanliness. I wanted to bring some change in their daily habits.
My project was implemented in a school nearby my place named Prerana Secondary School. I consulted with my sister Sumitra Shrestha and consulted with a doctor to organize a dental health awareness and checkup camp. Students from class 6-9 were given awareness about dental health, how to clean teeth and maintain its cleanliness, and were given checkups and come cleanings with a paste that helps prevent fluorosis.
From the project we got lots of positive feedback where parents, teachers & students themself. They shared their oral health have improved. They shared about change in their daily habits & cleanliness & self maintenance. Parents & Teachers stated that those children who participated in the dental health awareness camp started teaching their friends & relative how to maintain dental health & personal cleanliness & spread awareness on dental health. More than 100 people benefited from the project
I learnt that given right knowledge, motivation and awareness, people can try change their habits that will help them in their own good. I learnt that dental health, self maintenance and cleanliness is as important as your mental health and physical health.
