IDA Collaborations

IDA under the “Bright Smiles Bright Futures” initiative, launched a training programme for Anganwadi workers. Anganwadi – institutions provide basic education to children from the lowest rung of the society, in rural areas. Educating these kids on oral health reaps dual results. Kids get the relevant oral health information and in turn educate their parents. Anganwadi workers are trained by a dentist deputed by IDA, to inculcate essential oral care habits in children. This education programme is supported by Colgate-Palmolive (India) Limited.

This comprehensive training programme, conducted by a dentist comprises of a lecture, a slide presentation, brushing demonstration, question and answer session. Anganwadi workers are educated on various dental diseases through practical illustrations. Comprehensive training guides are supported by informative posters.
