Chennai, Tamil Nadu :

Vasan Dental Care, part of the Vasan Healthcare Group, in Saidapet is celebrating its second anniversary with a month long free consultation and digital radiograph facility at its branch.

The camp, a part of its campaign to provide oral health awareness for the public, started on Monday and saw at least 70 people getting free consultation in three days.

The camp will be on till June 26 from 9 am to 9 pm only at the Saidapet branch.

“We saw at least 40 children who came with parents concerned about cavities in their kids’ teeth.  Some even came to get braces, as it is summer holidays and this is the time they get to visit a dentist,” said a doctor.

The camp aims at conveying the importance of regular dental check-ups with dentists instead of resorting to over the counter medicines in pharmacies. Patients get digital X-rays that give precise, fast and clear images for easy diagnosis and less radiation exposure than in the conventional ones.

“Last year too we had camps. But we were promoting it internally. This time, anyone can walk in and ask for free consultation. We are aiming at reaching as many as 1,000 people in this month long camp,” a dentist said.
