Women Studies and development cell with placement cell and Dispensary cell organised extension on "Dental health and oral hygiene". Dr Prarthana Negi Kalra (MDS Oral and maxillofacial surgeon Consultant oral surgeon at Dr Sanjay Kalra Multispeciality Dental Clinic Panchkula) was the resource person. She informed the students that there are billions of bacteria living inside our mouths at any given time. Many of these bacteria build up as plaque, causing tooth decay (cavities) and gingivitis, which can lead to periodontal (gum) disease. For a healthy smile, you must practice good oral hygiene every day. Brushing after meals, using antimicrobial mouthwash, and flossing at least once per day helps to keep these disease causing bacteria from reproducing in your mouth, and causing tooth decay. And, healthy diets that minimize sugary and starchy foods also helps to keep those bad bacterial under control.
