The Dental Unit at the University Health Division at the University of Baghdad organized a free awareness campaign to promote oral and dental health in children. The campaign aimed to follow up on cases of tooth decay in children to provide a number of tips to parents on methods of prevention and treatment and explain the importance of eating healthy balanced food.
The campaign included giving a set of tips to children on how to properly clean teeth and how to prevent the risk of falling out, as well as distributing a number of encouraging gifts to children. The campaign recommended the importance of instilling the concepts of caring for oral and dental health, as well as removing the psychological barrier between the child and the dentist and changing some misconceptions about dentistry in children and their families.
