In celebration of the Oral Health Month, the Office of the Provincial Health Officer, in coordination the Rural Health Unit and Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office of Amadeo, and the Philippine Dental Association – Cavite Chapter, organized an oral health event dubbed as \u201cPamilya, Una Kong Dentista\u201d, in Amadeo, Cavite on February 19, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event commenced with a warm welcome by Dr. Melinda Villanueva, Amadeo Municipal Health Officer, to the guests and attendees, urging their full engagement in the program. It was followed by a message from Dr. Melnita Bayot, PDA – Cavite Chapter President, reminding the parents of their vital role in maintaining their children’s healthy teeth, as good dental health should start at home. \u201cPatuloy po kayong makisangkot sa pag-aalaga sa ngipin ng inyong mga anak. Kayo po ang laging kasama sa tahanan. Sipagan po ang paglilinis ng ngipin ng inyong mga anak.\u201d, she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Likewise, Dr. Mary Ann Montenegro, Cavite Provincial Oral Health Manager, stated that their objective is to foster good oral hygiene and prevent dental caries and gum diseases, especially among the young ones.
