18th National Dental Health Month Celebration Narrative Report
Pursuant to Division Memorandum No. 0036, s. 2022 also known as 18th National Dental
Health Month Celebration, Cruz Lanzado Saligan Integrated School headed by the school
prinicipal, Ms. Lalaine Y. Ponce, together with the teaching and non-teaching personnel,
parents and learners celebrated the whole month of February 2022 as National Dental Health
Month with the theme, “Brushing is a must, kahit naka-Mask”. This month-long celebration’s
main objective is to continuously raise awareness about the importance of children’s oral
health even amidst the battle of COVID-19 pandemic.
One of the activities conducted by the school is the updating and posting of dental health
advocacy materials in prominent and visible areas in the classroom and school clinic.
Teachers printed downloaded materials and posted it on their respective classroom bulletin
board.
The school also received dental hygiene kits from the Division office and was distributed
to elementary school teachers. These kits include toothbrush, flouride/toothpaste and liquid
handsoap. In preparation for the incoming face to face classes, teachers prepared ready to use
hygiene kits for learners which includes toothbrush, toothpaste, handsoap, towel, and hand
sanitizer/alcohol.
To celebrate the National Dental Health Month at home, learners were also encouraged
to brush their teeth twice a day everyday. This activity was relayed through group chats and
through parents during the distribution and retrieval of modules. Learners took pictures
doing the toothbrushing and sent it to their teachers or group chats in support with the
month-long celebration. Furthermore, those who can access online viewing, they were
invited to watch dental episodes of LAMDAG through Facebook page.
Overall, the National Dental Health Month Celebration of Cruz Lanzado Saligan
Integrated School was successful. Even with the limited contacts with the learners due to
lack of communication devices among the learners, teachers have successfully relayed the
advocacy of promoting dental health among the learners through their parents.
