An informative dental hygiene awareness camp was held in Khanpur to educate schoolchildren about the importance of maintaining good oral health as part of an overall healthy lifestyle. The camp, organized by the Tehsil Administration of Khanpur, the Education Department, and the Pakistan Association of Dental Students, aimed to raise awareness among students about proper dental care.
Event Overview
The event, which took place on Wednesday, featured dental professionals and oral hygiene experts from both public and private sector hospitals. Key figures in attendance included Assistant Commissioner Dr. Tazeen Zafar, who played a prominent role in the camp.
Educational Activities
Dental surgeons and oral hygiene specialists provided valuable guidance to primary school students from various educational institutions, highlighting the critical connection between proper dental care and overall health. They discussed common dental issues caused by poor oral hygiene and offered advice on maintaining healthy teeth.
Drawing from international best practices and religious health norms, the experts emphasized the importance of good oral care and its impact on preventing diseases like tooth decay, gum disease, and other dental conditions.

Significance of the Initiative
