During the camp, dental examinations were conducted for 480 students, including 230 girls. Out of them, 55 children were identified with dental problems, while 40 children, particularly among the younger age group, were found to have cavities mainly due to the frequent consumption of chocolates and other sweet items.

In addition, 10 teachers also underwent dental check-ups, of whom 3 were diagnosed with dental issues. The dental team comprising Dr. S. F. Barquat, Dr. (Mrs.) Ellen Erena, and their associates carried out thorough examinations of both students and teachers.

While interacting with the children, the doctors provided practical guidance on maintaining good oral hygiene, including rinsing the mouth properly after meals, avoiding sleeping with sweets in the mouth, brushing teeth regularly in the morning and before bedtime, and following the correct brushing technique.

The camp was organized with the active support of teachers Mr. Harimohan Jha, Mr. Uday Kumar, and Mr. Suraj Kumar. On the occasion, the Principal of the school, Mr. Santosh Kumar Sinha, expressed sincere gratitude to Universal Dental and its dental professionals for conducting this important health initiative.
