As part of Doha Healthcare Week 2024, Hamad Medical Corporation’s (HMC) Dental Health Service, in collaboration with the University of Doha for Science and Technology (UDST), hosted an engaging oral hygiene awareness booth at Doha Festival City Mall aimed to educate the public about the importance of dental health through interactive and family-friendly activities. UDST dental hygiene students, guided by their trainers Mr. Ali Nazar, Mr. Mahmoud Al Suleiman, and Mr. Jafar Al Abdullah, played a central role in delivering hands-on demonstrations and advice. The students, primarily fourth-year graduates, worked alongside HMC dental assistants to make the event both educational and entertaining for children and adults alike. The activities included brushing demonstrations using oversized brushes and toy teddies, interactive games to distinguish between tooth-friendly and harmful foods, and creative stations with colouring booklets and tooth-themed dough activities. Children were also captivated by a model tooth that transformed from dirty to clean after a simulated brushing game. Visitors received educational materials, giveaways, and the opportunity to watch videos promoting good oral hygiene habits. This initiative aligned closely with Qatar’s National Vision 2030 by promoting healthy lifestyles and preventive care, a cornerstone of the nation’s healthcare goals. By raising awareness of oral health, the booth contributed to building a healthier society, supporting Doha Healthcare Week's objective of improving public health literacy. The interactive activities empowered children and families to adopt better oral hygiene practices, reinforcing the broader goal of fostering long-term wellness within the community. We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the planning, and efforts of Dr. Maryam Mohammed A Al-Obaid, Senior Consultant in Endodontics and Chairperson of the Communication Committee at the Hamad Dental Center (HDC), Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC).
