we proudly celebrated World Oral Health Day with a heartwarming visit dedicated to children with special needs. This meaningful event was more than just a celebration—it was a powerful reminder that everyone has the right to oral health, regardless of their abilities or background.
As dental students, we believe we have a responsibility to advocate for equal access to oral care. Every child deserves education, awareness, and proper screening. During this visit, we created a safe, joyful space where children could laugh, play, and learn alongside our cheerful mascot, Toothie the Beaver, who brought smiles to all faces.
We also designed special games and activities tailored to their needs, making the experience not only fun but also educational. Parents participated with enthusiasm, learning new ways to support their children’s oral hygiene at home.
We were honored to be joined by a renowned dentist and social media influencer Dr.Yosr Boukhchina known for her educational content and tips on dental health. Her presence added great value—she shared insights on oral care for children with special needs and emphasized the vital link between oral health and mental well-being.
This celebration was a touching reminder of how inclusive healthcare can change lives—and how much joy it can bring.
