Imsil-gun Hosts 'Oral Health Day' Event

[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil County, Jeonbuk, announced on the 10th that it held the “76th Oral Health Day” event on the 9th at the Health and Medical Center under the theme “Healthy Teeth, Healthy 100 Years.”

The reason why the 9th was designated as Oral Health Day is because permanent teeth come in around the age of 6, and the day symbolizes the importance of properly managing these permanent teeth to maintain lifelong health. The number “6” represents the age when the first permanent molars appear, and “gu” (meaning molar) is numerically represented as “9.”

During Oral Health Week, the county will conduct non-face-to-face promotions online considering the spread of COVID-19, small-scale street campaigns, and oral health education activities at elementary, middle, and high schools.

The day before, an Oral Health Day event was held for visitors to the Health and Medical Center.

Additionally, oral health education panels were displayed at the entrance of the Health and Medical Center, and dentists provided direct consultations on oral health and instructions on how to use oral hygiene products, enhancing the residents’ awareness of the necessity and importance of oral health management.

A county official stated, “We will promote ways to properly manage oral health on a daily basis and strive to maintain healthy teeth until the age of 100 through residents’ oral health projects.”
