Sanitary education of the population is an integral part of the work of a dentist!
The students of the 5th year of the VSMU Dental Faculty under the guidance of Olga Aleksandrovna Zharkova, the Candidate of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, visited kindergarten No. 106 and held a lesson on oral health. Cognitive games and contests were organized for the children.
Future doctors helped the kids to understand the technique of brushing teeth and choosing the right diet. At the end of the class the kids watched the cartoon “Good Doctor Dentist” and asked the students questions.
Such interaction helps children not only to learn about dentistry, but also to prevent negative emotions associated with visiting the dentist.
Health lessons also help kids form the habit of taking care of their health from an early age.
