In a bid to promote good oral health habits among young children, the Duala Medical Center (DMC), 37 Military Hospital, and Colgate Ghana joined forces to organize an Oral Hygiene Day at the Gondar Cluster of Schools.
The event, which targeted children under 10 years, aimed to educate them on the importance of oral hygiene and dental care. Warrant Officer Class One Frimpong Elsie, a Physician Specialist at DMC, took the children through effective brushing techniques and emphasized the best times to brush to prevent tooth decay.
Dentists from the 37 Military Hospital’s dental department also participated in the event, demonstrating proper brushing methods and stressing the need to replace toothbrushes every four months. The event was an interactive and engaging way to teach children the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene habits from a young age.
