A skit was performed by the students of Noorul Islam College of Dental Sciences. It stressed on the need to maintain good oral health and how important it is in day to day life. Also, a detailed talk on the right way to brush teeth was indeed a helpful one. It made the audience realise the mistakes that they commit on a daily basis while brushing.

This was followed by a free Dental Camp. The final year BDS students of Noorul Islam College of Dental Sciences conducted a camp where students and teachers of GCTE could freely approach them regarding the various oral issues. Detailed prescriptions and tooth paste were distributed to all the students who participated in the camp.
