The College of Dentistry at the University of Basra organized a field visit to Sanaa Al Amal Elementary School, with the participation of fifth-year teachers and students.
The visit aims to teach children the principles of public health and the importance of dental hygiene and care by brushing their teeth daily and teaching them how to maintain them and the importance of healthy food for strengthening and growing teeth.
The visit included a dental examination for all school students and documenting teeth in need of treatment by preparing case sheets for each student that include the condition of the teeth in need of treatment, in addition to inviting the students' families to treat cases in need of treatment in the college's educational clinics.
In addition, some symbolic gifts were distributed to students and teaching staff, represented by toothpastes and toothbrushes, to encourage daily tooth brushing and oral and dental health care.
