Free Dental fair at the Grace Combined School tomorrow
By Ministry Of Health
This activity is an initiative of the staff of the Dental Services Unit as part of its ongoing school mobile dental programme. The school mobile dental programme has been in operation for more than 12 years. Schools throughout the breadth of the island have received care for its students under this programme. The Dental Services Unit is known for its creative oral health promotion activities that seek to educate the general public on oral hygiene tips and the proper way to care for their teeth. These activities include the National Dental Poster, Poetry, and Spelling Bee competitions, as well as the Dental Easter and Summer camps.
The children of the Grace Combined School as well as some students from neighbouring schools will be fortunate to receive information on a wide range of topics including healthy lifestyles, healthy eating, personal hygiene and COVID-19 protocols. The students will also receive dental treatment such as cleanings, fillings and extractions onsite. On the lighter side, the team has organized a mini treasure hunt, lucky dip and other engaging games for the students to be held in keeping with the established protocols.
The Dental Services Unit of the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs wishes to thank all the sponsors who assisted in every way and patronized this event for the benefit of the children.
The Dental Services Unit reminds the public that dental services (oral hygiene education, cleanings, fillings, extractions, sealants, fluoride treatment and chair orientation) can be accessed from Monday to Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. by making appointments at the dental clinics listed below for regular treatment. Walk-ins are accepted for urgent or emergency cases, however, the public is encouraged whenever possible to call ahead of time as strict adherence to the protocols is necessary for the safety of all.
