A child’s smile is a symbol of innocence, happiness, and health. But behind that smile, proper oral hygiene plays a vital role in a child’s overall well-being. Dental health is often overlooked in childhood, yet it affects everything—from nutrition and speech to self-esteem and learning. Recognizing this, Baba Puran Singh Thind Medical Charitable Trust in Ludhiana has taken a strong initiative to spread awareness and provide free dental care to schoolchildren, ensuring that every child grows up with a healthy and confident smile.
The Importance of Oral Health in Childhood
Oral health is an essential part of overall health, especially for growing children. Poor dental hygiene can lead to tooth decay, gum infections, and pain that interferes with eating, sleeping, and even concentrating in school. Studies show that children with untreated dental issues are more likely to miss school and experience difficulty focusing on their studies.

Good oral hygiene habits, when established early, can prevent most dental problems and set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. This is why the Trust’s school dental programs focus on both treatment and education—teaching children the value of brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups.
Our Mission: Reaching Schools, Transforming Smiles
At Baba Puran Singh Thind Medical Charitable Trust in Ludhiana, our mission goes beyond providing dental care—it’s about empowering children with knowledge and confidence. Through our school outreach programs, we visit various educational institutions across Ludhiana and surrounding areas to conduct free dental check-ups, awareness sessions, and preventive treatments.
Our dedicated dental professionals examine each child carefully, identifying early signs of cavities, gum problems, or other dental concerns. Parents and teachers are also involved, helping reinforce oral hygiene habits at home and in school.
By making dental care accessible to all, especially to children from underprivileged backgrounds, we ensure that no child’s education or happiness is compromised due to poor oral health.

Educating for a Brighter Tomorrow
Prevention begins with education. One of the Trust’s key goals is to teach children how simple daily routines can make a big difference. Through interactive workshops, fun demonstrations, and engaging storytelling, children learn:
- The right way to brush and floss
- How sugary foods affect their teeth
- The importance of regular dental visits
- The link between oral health and overall wellness
These activities make learning about dental hygiene enjoyable and memorable, ensuring that children carry these habits with them for life.
Community Involvement and Compassion
The Trust believes that improving children’s oral health is a community effort. By working with schools, local organizations, and healthcare volunteers, the initiative reaches a wider audience. Every camp and dental drive organized by Baba Puran Singh Thind Medical Charitable Trust is built on compassion and service—values that form the core of our mission.
From providing free dental check-ups and fluoride treatments to distributing oral hygiene kits, every effort is made to ensure that children not only receive care but also understand its importance.
