School-Based Oral Health Education Workshops

Needs: Since many kids don't know or practice proper oral hygiene, there are many more dental
problems than there should be.
Benefit: By holding interactive workshops in schools, teachers may teach kids about oral health,
help them form healthy routines, and guard against dental issues, all of which will enhance their
general well-being (World health organization, n.d).

Community Dental Awareness Campaigns

Needs: In communities all around Nigeria, this program would promote oral health. People
would be made aware of the value of oral health, given access to dental treatment, and assisted
in removing obstacles to oral health care, such as cost and accessibility (Colgate, n.d).

Benefit: This program would be helpful because it will reach a lot of individuals in Nigeria's rural
and underdeveloped areas. Additionally, it would assist to lessen the gaps in oral health that are
present in Nigeria between various socioeconomic groups (Colgate, n.d).

Mobile Dental Clinics for Rural Communities

Needs: Insufficient access to quality dental treatment in many rural parts causes oral health
problems to go untreated.
Benefit: Mobile dental clinics can give vital oral health services to marginalized populations.
They can do this by providing examinations, treatments, and teaching to promote better oral
hygiene in general and guard against dental issues (Colgate, n.d).
