School oral health programs play a vital role in promoting lifelong oral health among children. These programs are essential because they provide early education on the importance of oral hygiene practices such as regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. By instilling these habits at a young age, children are more likely to maintain good oral health throughout their lives, reducing the risk of dental problems like cavities and gum disease. Moreover, school oral health programs raise awareness about the link between oral health and overall well-being, highlighting the importance of a healthy mouth for overall health. #dhampusfoundation #hdsn
They also help in improving access to dental care for children who may not have easy access otherwise, ensuring that all children have the opportunity to receive essential dental services. Overall, school oral health programs contribute significantly to creating a community that prioritizes and supports children’s dental well-being.
