In her address, Dr Arooj explained the importance of oral hygiene and prevention of dental problems, including tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath, demonstrating brushing techniques.

During the interactive session, the students also asked questions about oral health-related issues.

The schoolchildren were also given goody bags containing toothbrushes and toothpastes, in collaboration with Colgate, Palmolive.

The seminar was part of a larger initiative at national level by the Community and Preventive Dentistry Department, University College of Medicine and Dentistry , aimed to improve oral health among the schoolchildren in peripheral areas and educate the local community about the benefits of better oral hygiene practices and preventive care.

School Principal Ms Razia Sultana lauded the initiative and science teacher Mr Khalid Gujjar thanked Dr Arooj for sharing valuable information with the students.
