Patients who required complex dental treatment were referred to SGT Dental Hospital for further procedures.
Oral health education was imparted to the people and proper brushing technique was demonstrated. The general population gave positive feedback and appreciated the check up and patient care provided by the Dental Team . They acknowledged the way the Dental team heard and attended to their problems with compassion.
The team of dentists also expressed their satisfaction in conduction of the whole drive, as awareness on Oral health and utilisation of dental services at rural locations is poor. The purpose of the Oral Health check-up was to create awareness among the community and make them understand the importance of oral health.
