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
