The Faculty of Dentistry Organizes Therapeutic Outreach Convoy in Celebration of World Oral Health Day

In celebration of World Oral Health Day, the Convoys Committee at the Faculty of Dentistry at October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (MSA) organized a therapeutic outreach convoy to one of the villages in Lower Egypt, aiming to provide essential dental care services to underserved communities.

The convoy was supported by the dedicated participation of 18 dental interns, along with 5 members of the Convoys Committee and a group of volunteering faculty staff. Together, they successfully examined approximately 100 patients.

As part of the services provided, 15 patients received periodontal cleaning procedures, while 63 patients underwent simple tooth extractions. The remaining cases were referred to the university’s dental clinics for further treatment, including restorative fillings, root canal therapy, and prosthodontic care.

This initiative reflects the Faculty’s ongoing commitment to community service and its active role in promoting oral health awareness and accessibility.
