In celebration of National Toothbrushing Day, educators at the Twinkle Star and Day Care Centre engaged with children about the significance of daily tooth brushing.
Premina Singh, the director of the centre, stated that teachers explained their personal tooth brushing routines and emphasized the importance of maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
“The toothbrushes and toothpaste were provided by Colgate and distributed to our students,” Ms. Singh mentioned. She highlighted the necessity of consistent oral hygiene practices, noting that regular brushing is essential for students to care for their teeth and gums, which can help prevent serious health issues.
“Maintaining healthy teeth and gums also contributes to good mental health and self-confidence, as clean, healthy teeth are necessary for eating and effective communication,” she added.
Throughout the day, students were shown posters and images related to oral health, helping them gain a better understanding of dental care. Students at the centre are encouraged to brush their teeth after lunch daily.
