RAIPUR: In a meaningful step towards promoting preventive healthcare among children, Raipur United Round Table 344 organised an Oral Health Check-up Camp at Government Primary School, Jarodha, as part of a National Activity of Round Table India.
The initiative focused on bringing oral health awareness and preventive dental care directly to school children, while encouraging them to develop healthy habits and understand the importance of regular dental check-ups from an early age.
A total of 140 children were examined during the camp, with 63 children identified as requiring further dental attention. While some children were found to require minor fillings, a few were identified as needing additional dental treatment.
Importantly, the initiative does not end with the screening. Raipur United Round Table 344 will facilitate the required follow-up treatment for the identified children, with the consent and permission of their parents. This approach aims to ensure that the camp translates into meaningful and continued healthcare support rather than being limited to a one-day check-up.
The camp was conducted by Dr. Rainy Deshlahra, who dedicated her time, expertise and effort towards the initiative. Through the check-ups and interaction with the children, she also helped create greater awareness about oral hygiene, preventive care and the importance of maintaining healthy dental habits.
The initiative was coordinated by Community Service Conveners LMF Tr. Sumit Kukkreja and LMF Tr. Pratik Poptani, as part of Raipur United Round Table 344’s continued commitment towards impactful community service.
As a National Activity of Round Table India, the initiative reflects the organisation’s larger objective of taking meaningful healthcare and awareness initiatives to communities and creating an impact that extends beyond a single event.
For the children of Government Primary School, Jarodha, the camp was more than a routine dental screening. It opened the door to greater awareness, early identification of dental concerns and, where required, access to further treatment.
Raipur United Round Table 344 continues to believe that meaningful change begins at the grassroots—and that every healthier smile is a step towards a healthier community.
