Community Health and Well-being Activities
Oral Health Activity for Children
Fifth-year dentistry students from İstanbul Nişantaşı University supported the “Birbirimizden Sorumluyuz” project held at Semiha Şakir Children’s Home on 3 December 2025. As part of this social responsibility initiative developed by high school students, children received practical guidance on correct toothbrushing habits.
With support from sponsoring companies, children received toothbrushes and toothpaste. Games and interactive activities combined health information with social participation. The activity provided an example of university students volunteering to bring health knowledge to children beyond the campus.
