Consider Sponsoring a School
Sponsoring a school through the Smiling School Program makes a meaningful impact on the oral health of children and staff. Here’s how your support can help:
- Comprehensive Dental Health Orientation:
We kick off the program with an engaging oral health seminar for students, staff, and parents. Utilizing models and audiovisual aids, we make learning about dental care informative and fun. - Thorough Dental Health Examination:
Every child undergoes a detailed dental health examination. All findings are meticulously documented, ensuring that no issue goes unnoticed. - Counseling and Treatment Planning:
We discuss each child’s dental issues with them and provide personalized counseling for treatment options. Contrary to common beliefs about dental anxiety, we’ve witnessed extraordinary enthusiasm among these children. Their curiosity often outweighs the fear of dental treatment, as many have never experienced a dental visit before. - Safe and Effective Preventive Treatment:
Preventive treatments are administered using sterilized equipment and gold-standard restorative materials, ensuring safe and reliable care. - Staff Involvement:
After treating the students, we invite school staff for examinations and treatments. Interestingly, we’ve found that teachers often have significantly lower decay rates than their students, likely due to the excessive sugar consumption among children. - Parent Engagement:
Parents who attend our seminars also receive examinations and need-based preventive treatments, creating a comprehensive approach to oral health. - Referral for Advanced Issues:
If any students have advanced dental issues beyond our capacity to treat, we refer them to higher centers for specialized care. However, it’s disheartening to note that none of the referred students have received the necessary treatment thus far.
