Dental health awareness should start at a very young age. The children must be taught the importance of keeping their teeth healthy and clean. Keeping this in mind, a dental workshop was organised at Delhi Public School, Chandigarh on July 14, 2022 for the students of Class ll. The workshop included dental awareness talk and common dental ailments like cavities, gum diseases and tooth decay.
