The oral health service is continuing its school-based preventive oral health campaign as part of the ‘Suzy Chang Him Project’.
During the April school holidays, the ‘Smile Squad’ is stationed at the Persévérance primary school, ready to help protect your child’s teeth. The campaign began on April 22 and will run until May 9, 2025.
