On National Toothbrushing Day, educators at Twinkle Star and Day Care Centre engaged children in discussions about the significance of daily tooth brushing.
Premina Singh, the director of the center, highlighted that teachers emphasized their own tooth brushing routines to help students grasp the importance of maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
“The toothbrushes and toothpaste provided by Colgate were distributed to our students,” Ms. Singh noted.
She stressed that practicing good oral hygiene through regular brushing is essential, as it helps prevent serious health issues. Additionally, maintaining healthy teeth and gums contributes to positive mental health and self-esteem, as clean teeth are important for eating and effective communication.
Children were also shown posters and images related to oral health, which enhanced their understanding of dental care.
At the center, students routinely brush their teeth after lunch each day.
