A Reason to Smile!
Gilutungan dwellers got enough reasons to smile when the Rotary Club of Mactan, Rotaract Club of Mactan -CITE Chapter, Lapu-lapu Dental Association and Sharing Gifts Foundation RCC in cooperation with Philippine Navy – Naval Force Central commenced the "Dental Outreach Program" on September 02, 2007 at Gilutungan Elementary School (Gilutungan Island, Cordova, Cebu).
Equipped with dental gadgets, Dra. Pilar Inoc, the head dentist oversaw the over-all operations. With her are 7 dental assistants and 7 volunteers. The mission is to give free service of extraction for those who have tooth problems provided that they are qualified to undergo the tooth extraction.
"Maayo na lang ni kay libre man, unya kung adto ka sa dental clinic, magbayad man kag four hundred pesos unya same lang gihapon ang operations.", said Dra. Pilar. There are 35 Gilutunganons in the list who are successfully survived the tooth extractions.
“This is the way I brush my teeth”
In the other hand, an "Oral Hygiene Seminar" was conducted simultaneously with Rotarians initiated to summon the children and a dentist from Association of Mactan Dentist, Dr Josephine oriented them on how to take good care of the teeth. While Dr. Gilbert Pino, taught the children the proper way of brushing the teeth. Brushing demonstration made it a fun-filled activity where the interaction between the children and the volunteers is evident. PP Rene Bano did an awesome voice over. Kudos ! After the demonstration, toothpastes and toothbrushes were given away to the children for them to use. With confident smiles, children's actual demonstration successfully concluded the event.
