KARACHI: Bahria College Karsaz recently organised an oral hygiene awareness lecture by guest speaker Dr Hera Nadeem, a consultant oral surgeon.
The session drew over 700 students from the college’s primary, middle, and Cambridge wings, along with the teaching faculty.
Dr Hera, during her lecture, underscored the significance of maintaining optimal oral hygiene. She informed the audience about brushing techniques and proper flossing methods while shedding light on prevalent dental diseases.
She said a considerable number of dental issues stem from inadequate oral hygiene and can be averted through conscientious oral care practices.
Addressing the audience, she highlighted the importance of adopting a healthy and tooth-friendly diet. She said that the mouth serves as a gateway to the body and warned that neglecting oral health could potentially contribute to various long-term health issues such as diabetes and heart diseases.
The session concluded with a question-and-answer segment, where both students and teachers actively participated, seeking clarification on various aspects of oral health.
Dr Atika, the Medical Officer of Bahria College, thanked Dr Hera Nadeem on behalf of the management for enlightening the audience.
