A team comprising of dentists and nurses from Klinik Pergigian Klebang came for their annual dental visit to our centre. They taught parents and students on ways they could take care of their teeth as well as did a demonstration on how to brush teeth properly (on a teeth model). Students too get to practice their teeth brushing skills after the demonstration by the team.
