Clogard in collaboration with SLDA and Neth FM launch educational campaign on Oral Hygiene

Clogard – one of Sri Lanka’s most trusted oral care brands, has launched a dental educational campaign on Neth FM in association with the Sri Lanka Dental Association (SLDA) to cultivate oral hygiene awareness and promote dental health among children and adults alike.

While the COVID-19 pandemic significantly switched up our daily routines, it has also impacted eating habits and by that means – dental care. With educational institutions having been closed for over a year, children and adolescents have had to spend longer periods at home adapting to new routines which, in most cases, have led to an increase in food intake. The dietary patterns of children have particularly witnessed a negative trend as snacking habits have been on the rise – with kids eating in front of the TV or snacking while playing video games.

Furthermore, the suspension of school dental camps, together with parental fear and concerns regarding coronavirus safety have compromised preventive dental appointments and routine care. Therefore, it is essential now more than ever for parents to ensure that their children maintain good oral hygiene by brushing their teeth twice a day, avoiding junk food, and using fluoridated toothpaste.

The ‘Clogard – නිරෝගී මුවකට පියමන් (Nirogi Muwakata Piyaman) with Neth FM and SLDA’ offers a series of educational and informative insights, hoping to encourage families to prioritize oral health as it is crucial for general wellbeing. A little goes a long way, and therefore Clogard encourages families to take a little time at home to practice good dental habits to protect their teeth during the pandemic and every day.
