NOHP Puducherry - Empowering Communities with Oral Health Awareness: A Poster Campaign for a Healthier Puducherry - Northern region

Spreading oral health awareness through a poster distribution campaign in government offices and schools is a crucial step toward building a healthier Puducherry. Poor oral hygiene can lead to severe health issues, including gum disease, tooth decay, and even systemic conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

By strategically placing informative posters in high-traffic public spaces, we ensure that vital messages about proper brushing techniques, the dangers of tobacco use, the importance of regular dental check-ups, and healthy dietary habits reach a broad audience.

Schools serve as a foundation for lifelong habits, making it essential to educate children early, while government offices influence a large working population that can further spread awareness.

This initiative not only promotes preventive care but also encourages individuals to take responsibility for their oral health, ultimately contributing to a healthier and more informed society. The list of offices, health centres and schools visited are as follows:
