Twenty individuals were provided basic treatment which included partial oral prophylaxis, restorations, and extractions in the mobile dental van at the campsite. Positive feedback was obtained from many patients post-treatment. However rigorous cases requiring complex treatment were referred to SGT dental college. All patients were given referral slips. The patients got ample opportunities to interact with the dental surgeons to enquire and gain knowledge concerning oral diseases. Highlighting the theme of this year’s ‘Be Proud of Your Mouth’ importance of maintaining good and hygienic oral health was verbally delivered to the patients.
