Dental Camps
Oral hygiene is not cared for. Damaging habits are cultivated and tolerated. The mouth is the gateway of the physical mansion; if the gateway is foul, what can we say of the residence and the inmates! Uncleanliness has become a popular cult; it is necessary to keep away from its votaries, for, cleanliness is next to Godliness.
Sri Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol 12 (1973-74)
Swami insisted that doctors should make earnest efforts to educate the people in health and hygiene and impress on patients how food habits and lifestyles affect life and cause diseases. Dental camps are conducted by members of the Sri Sathya Sai Organization to provide dental screening, cleaning and treatment to disadvantaged communities. Dental kits are also packaged and delivered.
