At GS Dihiro in Bugesera District, Beata Mukabahire, a dental health advocate at SOS, demonstrated proper oral hygiene practices to students, teachers, and parents as part of the
#FresheriKuIshuri campaign.
She explained that teeth should be cleaned using a toothbrush, toothpaste, and water, and that toothbrushes should be replaced every three months or earlier if worn out. She cautioned against brushing with fingers or using water alone.
Beata also advised learners not to rinse immediately after brushing, allowing the toothpaste time to work and protect teeth from decay.
The session reinforced the role of daily hygiene habits in promoting health and cleanliness among students and school personnel in general.
