KUANTAN: The rate of usage of government dental facilities by Pahang residents is still low, says state health director Datuk Dr Nor Azimi Yunus.
She said that statistics in 2022 showed that only 24.6%, or one in four residents, used dental health services provided throughout the district.
"Remember your birthday, remember a visit to the dentist, because prevention and early treatment can prevent serious dental problems,” she told reporters after launching the state-level Dental Health Promotion Week at KotaSAS here today . Three mobile dental clinics, in Kuantan, Maran and Lipis, provide services through the Outreach Dental Health programme, in addition to eight types of specialist dental services provided in clinics and hospitals in the state.
Dr Nor Azimi also reminded parents to focus on the dental health of their children, to ensure that they do not suffer from dental caries, the main dental problem faced, which can be avoided with proper dental health care practice.
