Clogard has partnered with the Medical Officer of Health (MOH), on its continuous mission to educate school children about good oral hygiene to build a cavity-free nation.  
This programme has been conducted for over 10 years and it is a testament to Clogard’s commitment to providing children across Sri Lanka with access to good oral care, to ensure that they all have an opportunity to maintain a healthy smile.
The programme consists of a robust curriculum on good oral hygiene practices, directory conducted by MOH doctors. The educational outreach is vital for instilling lifelong healthy habits in children. 


Additionally, the programme also offers free dental screenings for all primary school children. Those requiring further investigation are promptly referred to the MOH for additional care, ensuring that no child is left out. 
Identifying oral health issues is the very cornerstone of Clogard’s programme. By spotting potential problems early, children are more likely to enjoy better oral health in the long term. This initiative is crucial for the prevention of serious dental issues later in life, promoting overall well-being. This year, Clogard has expanded its efforts in the Northern region of the country, with objective of reaching over 5000 children.
