On the evening of March 4th, 2024, as the sun began to set, the team at Brace Dental Clinics embarked on their final mission of the day: a visit to Capbowl Orphanage in Shanthinagar, near Tarnaka, Hyderabad. This orphanage, nestled in the heart of the city, provided a home for both boys and girls, ranging in age from 7 to 23 years.

As we arrived at the orphanage around 7 PM, we were greeted by the eager faces of the children and the dedicated family members who cared for them. Dr. Amar Prasad, our compassionate leader, wasted no time in initiating a basic dental education session. He spoke passionately about the importance of proper brushing techniques, dental plaque, tartar, and calculus. With a keen eye for detail, Dr. Amar also addressed the issue of irregular teeth, emphasizing the potential consequences and the importance of seeking treatment.

Following the educational talk, Dr. Amar and Dr. Saba commenced free dental health checkups for the children and the caregivers. It was heartening to see the children’s curiosity and trust as they underwent the examinations. For those in need of further dental treatments, we extended our offer of complimentary services at our nearest branch of Brace Dental Clinic in Tirumalagiri.

The camp proved to be a resounding success, with Mr. Sam, his sister, and their mother expressing their heartfelt appreciation for our efforts. They eagerly expressed their willingness to bring the children to our clinic for treatments, which would include free dental scaling, composite and glass ionomer cement (GIC) restorations, tooth extractions, and root canal treatments.

In addition to dental care, we had the privilege of donating brand new stationary, notebooks, clay modeling toys, and clothing generously provided by Lt Col Kamesh and Mrs. Charoo. These donations, offered with love and care, would surely bring joy and comfort to the children of Capbowl Orphanage.

As we bid farewell to Capbowl Orphanage, our hearts were full of gratitude and hope. The smiles on the children’s faces served as a reminder of the impact of our efforts and the importance of spreading kindness wherever we go.

Stay tuned for more updates on our continued efforts to uplift communities and promote oral health awareness. Together, let’s continue to brighten smiles and make a positive difference in the lives of those we encounter.
