Hwaseong City Operates 'Kid's Oral Health Camp'

The 'Kid's Oral Health Camp' operated by Hwaseong City Health Center is receiving a positive response from residents.

Through November, the city operates the 'Kid's Oral Health Camp' for kindergarten and daycare children ages 6-7 in the city to raise awareness about the importance of dental care from an early age and reduce the incidence of oral diseases such as cavities.

Through various programs including proper toothbrushing instruction, bacterial testing inside the mouth, and dental care experience, children learn enjoyably through direct experience. The program introduces fluoride application and fluoride rinse methods to prevent tooth decay in children.

Hwaseong City Health Center stated, "Through oral health animation education, proper toothbrushing techniques, and education on foods beneficial for teeth from an early age, we aim to raise awareness of the importance of healthy teeth. Through proper toothbrushing practice and dental care experience, we expect to improve the ability for children to manage their own teeth and alleviate fear of dental treatment."

The 'Kid's Oral Health Camp' operates weekly through November at the Health Center Oral Health Department (Tuesday, Friday), Mado Oral Health Center Oral Health Department (Tuesday, Wednesday), Eastern Health Substation Oral Health Department (Tuesday), and Dongtan Health Substation Oral Health Department (Monday, Friday).
