We at SVSIDS believe that everybody has a right to good oral health care irrespective of their economic ability. As a part of our social initiative to reach out to the underserved population, the Department of Public Health Dentistry has conducted more than a 1000 free screening and treatment camps in rural, semiurban and urban areas. We have adopted orphanages, blind schools, special schools and villages where we provide free dental care. Free dental care is also provided to general public and government schools through our camps. The focus is not only on dental treatment but oral health education and promotion, to motivate and encourage patients to adopt healthy life practices and work towards prevention of oral problems.
The department is well equipped with a mobile dental van with two dental chairs to render door step service. The department has treated more than 40000 patients, conducted oral health awareness program all over Mahabubnagar district and adjoining districts and has received appreciation for the same. In addition to this the department also runs a tobacco cessation clinic and is actively involved in patient counselling services. As a part of NSS, we also conduct social welfare programs like anti-tobacco rally, blood donation, Haritha Haram (tree plantation)
