The X Oral Hygiene Week begins at the URJC University Clinic

Posted by McG

The URJC University Clinic collaborates with the COEM in the new edition of the oral hygiene week with the aim of promoting oral care in times of pandemic 

 

The X Oral Hygiene Week will last throughout this week and will be held at the facilities of the URJC University Clinic, on the Alcorcón campus. During these days, the collaborating students will carry out special information tasks on oral health and delivery of oral hygiene materials to patients.   

One of the objectives as future dentists is to promote oral health among the population, for this reason, our students from the University Clinic have joined this initiative of the College of Dentists and Stomatologists of the I Region (COEM) for another year. A different way of highlighting the work of this health professional as a key figure in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases.  

Under the slogan "In times of COVID, take care of yourself and your mouth", the campaign seeks to encourage oral health education for patients by insisting on traditional oral hygiene messages and informing that, as the COEM points out, "recent studies seem to point to that better oral hygiene, as well as the use of some mouthwashes with virucidal activity, can reduce the risk of transmission and the severity of COVID-19.”
