Dental screening camp for students organised in Irugulam

Tirupati: To create awareness about dental related problems and provide free treatment, a dental screening camp for students held on Saturday at Mandal Praja Parishad Primary School in Irugulam. 

Sri City Foundation in association with Care International Dental Centre has organised the camp. 

Over 115 students were screened and given advice on how to maintain hygiene for the teeth. 

Dr Srinivas assisted by paramedical staff carried out a comprehensive dental check-up on students. 

The students were explained about the eating patterns and food choices which cause toothache. 

The doctor highlighted about the possible formation of harmful acid, when bacteria (plaque) get in contact with sugar in the mouth and ultimately results in tooth decay. 

Similar camps were already organised at some of the schools that are located in the vicinity of Sri City. 

Care International Dental Centre is located on the 2nd floor of Sri City Medical Centre.
