The main objective of the program was to create the oral health awareness in the community as well as to assess the treatment needs of the patients. Team conducted program of screening, oral hygiene instructions, simple curative procedures like extractions and ART. Total of 208 patients were attended who mostly presented with problem of dental caries and missing teeth due to caries.
