Dentistry

School Clinic

As the name suggests, dental treatment is done only for school going children, mainly from municipal schools in Mumbai. Approximately two busloads of children are treated every day.

Timings : 1.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.

Children coming into the Dental OPD are examined, and whatever treatment is needed is done on the same day.
The school children are given special preference. They are not treated on appointment basis.
These children are educated about primary dental care and motivated to take care of their teeth. Free tooth brush and tooth paste are given as all these children are from low social economic background.
