QUETTA: In a heartwarming initiative promoting oral health and community service, a free dental camp was recently held at Govt. Girls Community Model High School Quetta, providing much-needed dental care to young students.

Key highlights of the camp
Comprehensive dental care: Students underwent thorough dental examinations, and on-site treatments were provided to ensure early diagnosis and prevention of oral diseases.
Oral hygiene awareness: The dental experts conducted educational sessions on brushing techniques, flossing, and maintaining good oral hygiene.
Empowering young minds: The camp inspired young girls to prioritize health and self-care, encouraging them to take ownership of their dental and overall well-being.
