In line with Manila City's ongoing commitment to achieving the vision of an "Orally Fit Manilenyo," the dental professionals from the Manila Health Department (MHD) District I recently organized a series of dental activities aimed at promoting oral health among the residents.

One of the significant initiatives undertaken by the MHD District I was a dental outreach program held at Amado Hernandez Elementary School. During the event, dedicated dentists provided essential dental services to the students, including permanent fillings, sealants, fluoride treatments, and extractions. Additionally, free toothbrushes and toothpaste were distributed to the pupils, emphasizing the importance of maintaining proper oral hygiene practices.

The dental activities held at Amado Hernandez Elementary School were part of the broader "Orally Fit Manilenyo" campaign, which aims to raise awareness about dental health and encourage preventive measures among Manila City's residents. By offering these crucial services directly to the community, the initiative seeks to ensure that everyone has access to quality dental care.
