Community Oral Health Initiative

On January 21, 2026, the Pediatric Dentistry Department at Tishk International University organized a community outreach visit to Juniors Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC) with the objective of promoting early childhood oral health.

Dental Screenings and Assessments

During the initiative, faculty academic members and a group of dental students conducted comprehensive dental screenings for the attending children.

To ensure a collaborative approach to health, parents were provided with detailed written assessments regarding their child’s specific oral health status, raising awareness about:

  • Potential dental issues

  • Necessary treatments and follow-up care

Preventative Care Support

As part of the department’s commitment to fostering preventative care habits, each child received a complimentary dental hygiene kit, including a toothbrush.

This gesture aims to:

  • Encourage positive oral care routines from a formative age

  • Reinforce the university’s dedication to public health education

Department Commitment

This community outreach initiative reflects the Pediatric Dentistry Department’s ongoing commitment to:

  • Early childhood oral health promotion

  • Parental education and engagement

  • Preventative care for vulnerable populations
