It is found that around 75% of children 17yeras and under have dental problems. They suffer pain and discomforts and also loose many days of school hours due to this. Dental Care experts say that most of these dental problems are due to lack of Oral Hygiene and good Dental Care habits and by improving oral health and taking preventive care measures one could over come them.

We at Texas Gulf General Trading & Contracting Co. are striving hard to create a healthy society with less dental and oral health problems.  Our motto is “To make healthy citizen of tomorrow”

Periodic dental check up is a must to determine the conditions of teeth in order to take remedial measures. Dentists suggest at least two check up in a year i.e. once in every 6 months.

Most of the parents take their child to a dentist only when they complain of pain or discomfort. But that is already too late to save the child’s teeth. Irreparable damages are already done to the teeth by this time and there is no time left to take preventive care and to save the teeth. Many of the time we take our child to the dentist only to remove the teeth instead of saving it.

“Free Student Dental Care program” was designed and developed in  2004 by Jose C Joseph a Dental Care professional and was approved and recommended by the Ministry of Education for private schools in Kuwait. The Ministry of education has issued a circular in this regard to all private schools-English, Arabic and Bi-lingual) in Kuwait, highlighting the importance and need for better oral care for the student community. Many Hospitals and clinics participated in this program since its introduction  and have served more than 10000 students since then.

Student Dental Care program helps the parents to identify the problems ,of their child, if any,  and then helps them to rectify the present problems to take immediate remedial actions, so as to prevent dental problems in future.
