\u201cOral health is an integral part of our overall health.

Juni Handajani, M.Kes., PhD, one of the speakers at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event began with a welcome speech from the school principal and a representative from the health team. Following this, health education on oral hygiene was conducted, including demonstrations on proper tooth brushing techniques and explanations about foods that are good and bad for dental health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy maintaining oral hygiene, we not only protect our physical health but also boost our confidence through a healthy smile,\u201d added Prof. Juni Handajani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dental examinations for the students were performed by a team of dentists from FKG UGM, assisted by students from the Dental Profession Program and the Dental Hygiene Program.
