More than 250 residents were able to avail of the free dental services during the dental mission at the Lower Tunghaan Elementary School in barangay Tunghaan, Minglanilla town, southern Cebu.
The three-day activity was sponsored by King Properties, in cooperation with the Juanito I. King Foundation Inc. (JIKFI) and Cebu Dental Chapter.
Volunteers from King Properties and JIKFI in-house dentists, assisted by the barangay health workers, came together to perform free dental procedures from May 30 to June 1, such as tooth restoration, cleaning and extraction.
Medicines were given to the patients who availed of tooth extraction.
The volunteers also provided blood pressure testing and health tips among hypertensive and at-risk patients.
The activity is in line with JIKFI-Cebu Dental Chapter Mobile Dental Project’s commitment to oral health and education among the marginalized sector and school-age children.
