In view of World Literacy Day (8th September) the Department of Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics and the Department of Public Health Dentistry organized and conducted an awareness and screening camp at Vellalar College of Education, Thindal, Erode on 6th Sep 2022. A role play on avulsion and importance of saving the tooth after traumatic injury was performed by CRRIs to educate around 160 B.Ed first year students. An awareness presentation regarding the importance of prevention and management of caries for 60 high school students was given by postgraduate students. Around 120 students were screened. Many teacher training students actively interacted during the question session and their doubts were cleared immediately by the faculty members and postgraduates. Overall the camp was successful and many young students benefited from it.
