Dental
care is the forgotten part of a healthy lifestyle. But while its importance is
often underestimated, the need for regular dental care can not be overstated.
The health of our teeth and mouth are linked to overall health and well-being
in a number of ways. The ability to chew and swallow our food is essential for
obtaining the nutrients we need for good health. Apart from the impact on
nutritional status, poor dental health can also adversely affect speech and
self-esteem. Dental diseases impose both financial and social burdens as
treatment is costly and both children and adults may miss time from school or
work because of dental pain.
So Kenilworth Estate organized free dental
clinic for our associates in Kenilworth Estate dispensary on 09th of
January 2013.This was focused on awareness of oral hygiene and oral cancer.
This programme was carried out with the collaboration in PHDT & Ministry of
Health. By this clinic 74 people were benefited.
