As part of the 1st Semester Katipunan ng Kabataan (KK) Assembly 2026 held on May 20, 2026 at the Barangay Malalao Open Gymnasium, a Dental Hygiene Lecture was conducted by Dr. Ceasaria Umalliw Mosing Abbacan, DMD, in line with the theme, โYMalalao: Your Voice Matters โ Be Informed, Be Involved, Be the Change.โ The lecture aimed to educate the youth and residents on the importance of proper oral hygiene and maintaining healthy teeth. Dr. Abbacan actively engaged the audience by asking interactive questions, including how many teeth a person normally has, encouraging participation and awareness among the attendees.
During her discussion, Dr. Abbacan demonstrated the proper way of brushing teeth and emphasized the importance of regular oral care practices. She explained that poor dental hygiene can lead to several health problems such as tooth decay, cavities, gum diseases, bad breath, tooth loss, and infections that may affect overall health and confidence. She also reminded the participants that neglecting dental care can result in difficulties in eating, speaking, and even social interaction, especially among children and young individuals.
Before concluding her lecture, Dr. Abbacan distributed free toothbrushes to the youth and residents who attended the activity. The participants expressed their appreciation for the informative and practical lecture, which not only raised awareness on dental health but also encouraged proper self-care and hygiene practices. The activity became one of the meaningful health-related programs conducted during the KK Assembly, promoting healthier lifestyles among the youth of Barangay Malalao.
