These camps are followed by a further check-up camp after a month or so, where follow-up treatments and medications are done to provide complete dental treatment. All the services and prescribed medicines provided through this program are free of cost. In total, 3070 people have been able to get dental treatment and necessary medication until December 2021. Along with the curative part, this project also emphasizes preventive aspects of oral and dental health so these camps are always accompanied by awareness programs related to the importance and ways of maintaining good oral health and hygiene.
