KARACHI: The Department of Community Dentistry, Baqai Dental College, Baqai Medical University, recently devised an educational field session of second-year BDS students to Rangers Public School & College Toll Plaza Karachi.
Prof. Dr Asghar Ali Shigri and his faculty members, Dr Raza Abbas, Dr Samreen Mazher, and Dr Mahwish Bano, directed this field trip.
Thirty-five students volunteered for this visit, divided into seven groups. Each group was oriented to at least two classes to communicate and interact with the maximum number of students.
Each group reached its destined class and introduced themselves and their purpose. Children were guided adequately about oral hygiene and its significance and were told and directed by demonstrating brushing techniques on a teeth model for better understanding. They also emphasised them to refrain from tobacco, alcohol and smoking.
