On October 30, 2024, the Periodontology Department of Dr. Ishrat-ul-Ebad Khan Institute of Oral Health Sciences (DIKIOHS) at Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS) organized an awareness session on tooth sensitivity and gum health. The event, conducted in collaboration with Haleon Pakistan Limited, was part of an ongoing commitment to promote better oral health in alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3, 4, and 17, focusing on good health, quality education, and partnerships.
The event commenced with a recitation from the Quran, followed by a welcome address from Dr. Batool Bibi, Head of the Periodontology Department at DIKIOHS. Dr. Batool introduced the key topics of the day: tooth sensitivity and gum health, addressing common issues such as sensitivity and bleeding gums.

Attendees benefited from free tests, including chilled testing for sensitivity, plaque assessments, and a Bone Mass Density (BMD) test for calcium levels, underscoring the importance of early detection and preventive care.
In her closing remarks, Dr. Batool highlighted the role of gum disease prevention in maintaining optimal oral health. As a gesture of appreciation, Haleon Pakistan Limited presented a shield to Dr. Batool for her efforts in promoting oral health awareness.
