Damyang-gun Supports 'Health Education and Oral Hygiene Supplies' for Elementary, Middle, and High School Students

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Choi Hyung-sik) announced on the 29th that it will provide oral health education and oral hygiene products to daycare centers, kindergartens, and elementary, middle, and high schools in the area to deliver correct knowledge about oral health.

This is because, as the importance of personal hygiene has increased recently due to viruses, interest in oral hygiene has also risen. In fact, most bacteria and viruses cause infections through the mouth, so maintaining oral cleanliness regularly helps prevent various diseases.

The health center not only provides oral health education but also offers free fluoride application to children who wish to visit the health center for cavity prevention. Additionally, it provides various oral health services such as oral examinations, cavity treatment, gum treatment, and annual insurance-covered scaling for those aged 19 and over.

Health Center Director Kim Sunbok said, “The oral environment consists of numerous mucous membranes and is directly connected to blood vessels, so managing oral health alone can prevent viruses from entering the body,” adding, “As this is a time when personal hygiene must be thoroughly maintained, we will do our best to promote and educate continuously for the oral health of the residents.”
