Residents of Eldoret are set to benefit from a major public health initiative as the Moi University School of Dentistry marks World Oral Health Day with a free dental outreach program. The event, themed “A Happy Mouth is a Happy Life,” aims to raise awareness about oral hygiene while offering essential dental services to the community.
Scheduled for March 19, 2026, the event will take place at the PDN Complex opposite Chandaria, running from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Organizers have partnered with key stakeholders in the dental sector to ensure residents receive quality care and professional guidance.
Attendees will access a range of free services, including:
- Dental screening
- Professional consultation
- Tooth filling
- Tooth extraction
- Teeth cleaning
This initiative is particularly important as many Kenyans often delay dental visits due to cost, leading to preventable oral health complications. By offering free services, the organizers hope to encourage early detection and treatment of dental issues.
Oral health is a critical part of overall well-being. Poor dental hygiene has been linked to serious health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. Events like World Oral Health Day help bridge the gap between awareness and access to care.
The outreach is expected to attract hundreds of residents from Eldoret and its surrounding areas. It also provides an opportunity for dental professionals and students to engage directly with the community, promoting better oral health practices.
