Mumbai, India, November 21, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Indian Dental Association (IDA) in its endeavor to reach out to the children of the country and to inculcate healthy brushing habits and oral hygiene amongst them has launched the “Healthy Smile Happy Smile” campaign on the occasion of Children’s Day.

Today at Smt. Kamla Mehta School For the Blind the children were checked and certified for their overall oral health and hygiene. Also IDA Mascot Dr. Strong Teeth shared with them the knowhow of correct brushing and how to maintain proper oral hygiene for a Healthy Smile and Happy Smile!
Dr. Ashok Dhoble, Hon’ble Secretary General, Indian Dental Association said, “I am delighted to announce that IDA has started an oral health movement in the form of National Oral Health Programme in the country to create awareness among people. The Healthy Smile, Happy Smile campaign aims to sustaining the billion smile of the country by securing the smile of the children who are future of our nation, by promoting healthy brushing habits and oral hygiene amongst them.
