Cebu celebrates 4th National Dental Health Month

-

The Philippine Dental Association in partnership with Hapee Toothpaste yesterday formally kicked off with its activities for the Visayas area, at the SM City Cebu, in line with the observance of the National Dental Health Month.

PDA, being the country’s premiere dental organization, aims to reach as many Filipinos as possible to raise public awareness on oral healthcare and the status of dental practice in the Philippines.

This objective is supported by Lamoiyan Corporation, manufacturer of Hapee Toothpaste, which recognizes the PDA’s mission as vital in the attainment of a better and healthier Filipino society.

Meanwhile, this year’s theme “Isang Siglong Nangangalaga sa Ngiting Pilipino, Kaisa ng Buong Mundo” was also the theme used for the on-the-spot poster-making contest participated in by various public high schools in the city.

Robert Don Esparcia, a fourth-year student of the Cebu City National Science High School, won in the poster-making contest. He will represent the Cebu Dental Society in the national competition.

Aside from the poster-making tilt, the “Kiddie Wow Smile” contest was also part of the activities in which Mary Emelyn Unabia, a grade-six pupil of the Barrio Luz Elementary School, emerged as first-prize winner escorted by school principal Leonicila Lendio and adviser Lydia dela Peña.

John Saldu Olayan of Tisa 1 Elementary School and Mae Charmaine Asas of Labangon Bliss Elementary School copped the second and third prizes, respectively. – Phoebe Jen Indino/MEEV
