PROBLEM

Health care standards has increased significantly in the Indian subcontinent in last few decades but people living in rural areas and slums are still living with substandard health provisions.

Considering Oral Health as one of the important part of healthy living Jyoti Social Foundation took the initiative to educate families and create awareness about oral health care. As bad oral health leads to

respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia or bronchitis, chronic sinus infections, postnasal

drip, diabetes, chronic acid reflux, and liver or kidney problems it is very important to create the awareness about the best oral health care practices and enlighten the various aspects of oral health.

“Oral Health Care Awareness Program” was directed mainly for the children’s of slums as they suffer a lot due to lack of awareness, uneducated parents and expensive oral health and dentistry services in India. Hardly parents care to educate children to brush regularly and use tooth paste and other healthy practices to stay orally healthy.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

1. Develop a strategy to better integrate oral health into life of peoples dwelling in slums

a) Making oral health prevention and care part of prenatal care. b) Making oral health education part of prenatal care for children 2. Create awareness and educate families dwelling in slums

3. Develop dental programs to reduce vertical transmission 4. Distribution of toothbrushes and tooth paste to the children of slums




METHODOLOGY

1. Conducted small open seminars in slums

The seminar was conducted by the team educating slum dwellers, children and peoples about Oral Health. Various tools were used in the process:

a) Dental Chart: A dental chart was displayed and children’s were taught basics of dentistry.

A proper decapitation of knowledge about various kinds of teeth’s and count was give

b) Brushing Techniques: A proper demonstration of various brushing techniques was given to all attendees.

2. Group Activities: a) Quiz on Health and nutrition

There was a list of common nursery level quiz prepared along with general knowledge question that was being asked to children’s regularly in intervals.

b) Antakshri

To actively engage and amalgamate with the children and connect to them we initiated some fun loving games like Antakshri

c) Children Games: Rhymes, Counting etc.

Various others games were conducted.

This all games were held simultaneously while helping children’s brush their teeth.




COORDINATION

The whole event was coordinated with the help of elderly members form local families, Doctors and volunteers from various levels of society. Students from colleges were actively involved in the conduction of the program.

checking the viability of the project. In a period to two months (28-June 2013) we got to learn a lot about the lifestyle, habits, educational standards and problems that slum dwellers are facing.

Primary survey and reporting was one of the main tool on which the whole project was architectured.

started planning the event and started sketching the layout. Event dates, venue were decided and tools were collected.
