LET'S DOH EIGHT: PHILIPPINES' DIRECTION ON ORAL HEALTH"
Dr. Noel Vallesteros
Chief, Oral Health and Nutrition Division DOH
President, UP Dental Alumni Association
The ADI Philippines Section successfully held its quarterly meeting and seminar last Saturday, at Club Filipino. The event featured engaging presentations from active members, including UB Dentistry Dean Dr. Steve Bandaay and UPCD Oral Surgery Professor Dr. Chris Paghubasan.
Following these presentations, attendees were treated to an inspiring lecture by Dr. Manuel Vallesteros of the DOH, who passionately addressed the future direction of oral health in the Philippines. As a fellow dental professional, Dr. Vallesteros urged the largely academic audience to drive change and foster a shift in social behavior to improve the country's troubling oral health statistics, including high rates of dental caries, gingivitis, and oral cancer.
We hope the insights shared will empower the attendees to effect positive change and educate both students and colleagues on these critical issues.
