World Oral Health Day 2025 Celebration

On the occasion of World Oral Health Day 2025, Them “Happy Mouth is Happy Mind” conducted a Dental Health Program at Ananda Ranga Pillai Government Special School, for children with visual and hearing impairment at Pillaichavady on 4/4/2025

The event focused on spreading oral health awareness among students and staff. Educational sessions were conducted to emphasize the importance of maintaining good dental hygiene. Each student received a dental kit containing a toothbrush and toothpaste. A live demonstration of proper brushing techniques was carried out using dental models to ensure clear understanding.

The highlight of the program was a Mass Toothbrushing Activity, where all participants practiced brushing under supervision, reinforcing the correct methods taught.

A total of 23 students and 3 teachers actively participated in and benefited from the program.

This initiative aimed to empower children with special needs with the knowledge and tools necessary to maintain a healthy smile—because a happy mouth truly leads to a happy mind.
