ORAL HEALTH AWARENESS CAMPAIGN IN CONJUCTION WITH WORLD ORAL HEALTH DAY 2023 AT VOCATIONAL COLLEGE TENGKU AMPUAN AFZAN, BENTONG, PAHANG.

Campaign

The Dental Health Promotion Team comprising of 28 dentists and 39 supporting staff from the government dental health setting of Bentong in Pahang, Malaysia were involved in an Oral Health Awareness Campaign in conjunction with World Oral Health Day 2023 from 13/03/2023 to 20/03/2023.  This campaign was held as a collaborative programme between government dental healthcare providers from Bentong and the local vocational college at Vocational College Tengku Ampuan Afzan, Bentong to deliver oral health awareness to a targeted group of young adults within the age range of 16 to 18 years old. Several activities such as free dental check-up, dental treatments, exhibition, dental talks, busker performance on oral health awareness and an infographic poster contest under the theme "Mulutku Kebanggaanku" which is a direct translation of ‘Be Proud of Your Mouth’ into the national language of Malaysia were held for over 700 students. On the 20th of March 2023, a soft launch of World Oral Health Day was done involving students from the Vocational College wherein some students were involved in singing and dancing performances, followed by prize giving for the winners of infographic poster competition in line with the World Oral Health Day theme. These string of events were also published in the Malaysian Chinese-language newspaper entitled China Press.
