The Slovak Dental Student Association, under the auspices of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, will for the second time organize a nationwide roadshow focused on oral hygiene prevention. Its motto is a slogan “A healthy smile is a beautiful smile”. As a level of oral health in Slovakia is in an alarming condition, it has encouraged future dentists to come out to the streets to spread awareness among the general public and to enable everyone improve their oral health condition. The project will be run as the nationwide roadshow in eighteen Slovak towns. During 14 days the dentistry students will travel with two vans from the west to the east of Slovakia and carry out training courses to teach people proper teeth-cleaning technique, motivate them to improve their oral health care and increase the level of awareness about the importance of oral hygiene prevention. Participants of the instruction sessions will receive a toothbrush to practice the right teeth cleaning technique in real time.
