About the card
Child Oral Health Card crystallizes the Indian Dental Association's (IDA) aim for
optimal health of the future generation. This initiative helps ensure optimal oral
health and makes oral health care more accessible and affordable.
Today, dental caries is a public health problem in India with a prevalence as high
as 60- 80% in children, according to the Directorate General of Health Services
and Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India. Poor oral health in
children can affect growth and school attendance; can lead to medical complications
of untreated disease and result in poor social outcomes.
IDA initiated the Child Oral Health Card, so that children
can obtain
- timely preventive,
- educational or
- treatment services.
