Being Healthy Every Day Starts From Oral Care

The 20^th of September has been designated ‘National Dental Care Day’ since 1989. The aim of this campaign is to encourage preventive oral care and promote dental health education among the general public.

And this year’s theme is ‘Being healthy every day starts from oral care’. KidStrong held a competition at Jinde Migrant School to celebrate the National Dental Care Day. Twenty fourth-graders selected for the finals demonstrated how to brush their teeth and delivered speeches on the topic of “My Healthy Teeth”, which was followed by a Q&A session. The dentists from United Family Healthcare considered the overall performance of each contestant and chose the winners of awards for “Best Teeth”, “Best Smile”, etc.

The volunteers from Shanghai Jianqiao University also delivered dental care lessons with a tooth-brushing song in a fun way, emphasizing the proper method of tooth-brushing to help students understand the importance of dental hygiene.

Let’s learn how to brush teeth together!

Little tooth brush, in my hand, morning and evening I brush my teeth.

Upper teeth brush up and down, lower teeth brush from downside up.

Chewing side from left to right, and don’t forget the inner side.

Brush teeth inside out, and you have a mouthful of white teeth.
