School Oral Health Programs

School oral health programs play a vital role in promoting and maintaining the oral health of children. These programs encompass a range of initiatives implemented within educational settings to educate, prevent, and treat oral health issues among students. By targeting this specific population, school oral health programs aim to address common dental problems and promote good oral hygiene practices from an early age. One of the primary objectives of school oral health programs is to provide education and awareness about oral health. Through interactive presentations, workshops, and educational materials, students are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain optimal oral hygiene. They learn about the importance of brushing and flossing regularly, the effects of a balanced diet on oral health, and the risks associated with habits such as smoking and excessive sugar consumption.
