Free Dental Checkup and Awareness Camp organized by GMC Medical & Dental Specialty Centre at Delhi Private School, Sharjah.

In continuation of human endeavor by GMC  Medical & Dental Specialty Centre, Sharjah, a free dental checkup and awareness camp was recently organized at Delhi Private School, Sharjah.  A team of Senior Specialist Dental Surgeons  and para-medical staff carried out a comprehensive dental checkup on students of Grade KG2, Grade 2, Grade 6 and Grade 9.

The camp was initiated with dental awareness talk, educating students about common dental ailments, especially stressing on tooth decay and gum diseases and measures to prevent from them.  The students were highlighted about the eating patterns and food choices which cause tooth decay.  The surgeons also highlighted about the possible formation of harmful acid which develops when bacteria (plaque) get in contact with sugar in the mouth which ultimately results in tooth decay.   “Added sugars often are present in soft drinks, candies, cookies, pastries and therefore to help control the consumption of sugar one must read the food labels and choose the right foods and beverages that are low in added sugar”, the dental surgeons added.

The students got ample opportunities to interact with the dental surgeons to enquire and gain knowledge concerning oral diseases. On completion of the dental checkup each student was given a Patient Card, a report summary of the diagnosed problem and the recommended dental treatment plan.

The Principal of Delhi Private School, Sharjah thanked the dental surgeons, para-medical staff and the management of GMC Medical & Dental Specialty Centre, Sharjah for rendering moral and selfless service to the school.

The above dental checkup and awareness camp is one of the many free social events organized by the Thumbay Group throughout the year.
