Damyang-gun, Non-Face-to-Face Oral Health Education Experience Kit Rental

Application for Children Over 36 Months at Public Health Centers

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 18th, Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it will provide oral health education and customized oral health lifestyle practice services to guardians of children aged 36 months and older.

This service is being conducted due to the increased need for oral health management as prolonged mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic has made it easy to neglect tooth brushing.

The Damyang-gun Public Health Center will lend oral health experience kits and conduct non-face-to-face oral health education for children aged 36 months and older registered in the area.

The oral health education kit consists of experiential kits that induce improvement in brushing habits through a dental plaque observation device and an oral condition recording app, as well as oral care items such as a tooth brushing notebook.

After lending the kit for three months, oral hygiene status is checked, fluoride varnish is applied, and oral education is provided according to the child's level. For children with newly erupted permanent teeth and those at high risk of caries, fluoride varnish is applied twice a year to prevent dental caries.

An official from the county stated, “We expect that oral health education through the oral care kit lending project will greatly help children who might otherwise neglect oral care to form good tooth care habits.”
