To celebrate National Toothbrushing Day, educators at Twinkle Star and Day Care Centre engaged with children about the significance of daily tooth brushing.
The centre’s director, Premina Singh, emphasized that teachers discussed their tooth brushing habits and ensured that the students understood the importance of maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
“The toothbrushes and toothpaste were provided by Colgate and given to our students,” Ms. Singh stated.
She highlighted that practicing good oral hygiene through regular brushing is essential, as it helps prevent serious health issues. “Having healthy teeth and gums also contributes to good mental health and self-confidence, since clean teeth are necessary for eating and effective communication.”
Throughout the day, students were shown posters and pictures related to oral health, which helped them gain a better understanding of their dental care.
Students at the centre consistently brush their teeth after lunch each day.
