Oral Health Education

The Oral Health Education Unit functions within the Health Education Centre, where educators—collaborating with the dental care team and using modern teaching methods—conduct education and promote oral and dental health.
Activities occur in kindergartens, elementary and middle schools, the local community, prenatal classes for future parents, and at the Oral Health Education Unit itself.

As part of peer-based oral health promotion, the unit organizes the nationwide campaign “Clean Teeth with a Healthy Diet Competition”.
