KUWAIT CITY, June 10: The Community Welfare Wing of the Indian Dentists Alliance in Kuwait (IDAK) was invited to give an Oral Health Awareness Seminar for kids of Indian Community School Salmiya, Junior Branch, who are attending the Summer Camp — The Sunshine 2018. Dr Prathap Unnithan, Chairman of the Community Welfare Wing conducted the very interactive one hour presentation for kids of 3rd to 6th grade on the importance of oral hygiene.

They were explained the need to eat healthy for having healthy teeth, the necessity to abstain from sugary colas and junk food, the reasons to strictly brush at night before bed time, the correct brushing technique and the immediate measures to be taken if there is an injury to the teeth due to an accident or fall. The presentation was followed by a really engaging Q&A session where kids cleared all their doubts and creative curiosities regarding dental care.

IDAK wishes to express its sincere gratitude to Dr V. Binumon — Principal — ICSK Senior for his patronage, Dr Mary Isaac — Vice-Principal — ICSK Amman for the brilliant organization and Madam Sabiha of ICSK Junior for the excellent co-ordination. IDAK doctors Dr Ajay Vazhiyodan, Dr Simi Bhargavi, Dr Krishnakumar Kochunarayanan and Dr Javed Parker provided the logistical support for the event. IDAK Community Welfare Wing is highly appreciative of “Dental 8 Clinic” for their continued support for our social welfare activities by providing kids tooth brush samples which were distributed to the kids after the presentation and Oral B for toothpaste samples which were shared among camp volunteers and supporting staff.
