Free Dental Clinic-Kenilworth Estate

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.

Planting “Sour Sap” trees is one such initiative. Sour sap is a fruit which can be used in the treatment of some infections. This fruit contains significant amounts of Vitamin C, Vitamin B1 and Vitamin B2. In addition the growth of fruit trees will lead to maximizing land utilization in order to achieve economic benefits.
