Community

Community dentistry is not just providing education and knowledge, but through oral health promotion encouraging behavioural change. This can be achieved through liaison with community and mother’s groups as well as education and literature for pre and primary school children and their parents.

I happily contribute to community dentistry through my regular oral health promotion talks, especially during dental health week. These talks are mainly directed at pre and primary school children in different local government areas, with an emphasis on improving children’s and parents oral hygiene behaviour.
