Edited example of oral health education material created by NUS dental students
Our team worked with 3 groups of dental students by providing advice on the oral health education materials that they created for migrant workers. Our team supported the development of the health messaging, surveys, and polls to get insights from migrant workers on their oral health knowledge.
We also provided a platform where students could gain insight to vulnerable communities and be empowered to exercise their skills, competencies, and global citizenry to give back to community. We had a wonderful experience working with one group of dental students during our recent on-ground outreach. They were given a chance to share and collect feedback to evaluate the effectiveness of the oral health education materials that they created, and they also provided oral health education to our migrant workers.
Special thanks to the students who worked with us to build awareness on the importance of oral health by guiding our migrant workers through proper brushing and flossing techniques, which can prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Our team is excited to partner with the NUS Faculty of Dentistry to provide more meaningful service-learning opportunities.
