An extremely useful and practical workshop dedicated to the European Healthy Gums Day was held at the dental building of the Academy.

The informational event began with a special moment — College Director Dmytro Lysytsia sincerely congratulated students on International Nurses Day, wishing them professional success, inspiration in their studies, and pride in their noble future profession.

The organizer and speaker of the event was Sofiia Dundiuk-Berezina, head of the “Nursing” and “Dentistry” departments and Doctor of Philosophy.

The workshop participants included the first-year students of the “Nursing” department (group B9), as well as everyone interested in improving their knowledge of oral health.

During the workshop, students learned:

-         the secrets of healthy gums and how periodontal tissue health affects the entire body;

-         proper home oral care and effective tooth-brushing techniques;

-         how to choose the right toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, and interdental brushes according to individual needs;

-         how to recognize the first signs of inflammation and prevent oral health problems in time.

Professional care and prevention are the first steps toward preserving patients’ health — skills that future nurses will be able to apply both in their personal lives and future medical practice.

Thank you to everyone for your active participation and interest in this important topic! Take care of your smiles every day!
