CFI organized an ‘Oral Checkup cum Awareness Camp’ in Kakda Crusher slum, Ayodhya Bypass in collaboration with People’s Dental College and Hospital. 

Around 50 people from the slum made use of this opportunity. The camp mainly focused on the importance of oral hygiene with demonstrations of proper brushing, mouth-cleaning etc.

Doctors also addressed on the importance of drinking quality water and the harmful effects of using tobacco. Free oral checkup and proper oral hygienic instructions were also given.

The doctors in two groups took their role in diagnosing the patients and gave instructions to come out of their problems.  

Dr Aashna expressed her concern; Fluorosis is the cause of teeth decay in most of the slum habitants. If we could address the issue by providing pure drinking water, it would be beneficial.

Dr Mahindra said “I am thankful to CFI for arranging this camp. Here in this slum tobacco eating is rampant and this is visible more in pregnant women and breast feeding mothers. This program has sensitized the people to avoid such unhealthy behavior to help them raise their family healthy.”
