The
Madras Dental College’s camp for children in Corporation-run schools in the
city a few years ago found that 85 per cent of children had some form of
abnormality in their teeth The lack of awareness of the Chennai Corporation’s
dental clinics was one of the factors contributing to inadequate oral hygiene
among a number of residents in the city.Many residents in slums do not visit
dentists on account of the unaffordable nature of such treatment. “These
clinics and the group of motivated dentists will promote oral hygiene in many
neighbourhoods,” said an official.
