They will inspire their parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters around better oral health in the process\u201d, the Brand Building Director said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Nartey added that although tooth decay is easily preventable, it still affects nearly 100% of the global adult population and 60% \u2013 90% of children. \u201cCrucially, untreated tooth decay can have a serious and long-lasting effect on children\u2019s growth and overall health, with many consequently missing out on school and social opportunities\u201d, Mr Nartey said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Untitled.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-101528\" src=\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Untitled.png\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"605\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Untitled.png 605w, https:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Untitled-300x198.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Executive President of the Ghana Dental Association, Dr Paapa Puplampo lauded Pepsodent for playing an active role in addressing oral health issues, calling on the company to do their best to meet the oral health of 5 million children by 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Puplampo reiterated, \u201cWhen children are free from toothache, they are more likely to be high achievers in school as compared to those who have toothache due to cavities and poor oral hygiene\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Executive President of the Ghana Dental Association added that oral diseases in children can negatively affect the self-esteem of such children. \u201cThis explains why some children avoid laughing or smiling due to the perceived poor appearance of their teeth\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By: citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To mark World Oral Health Day (WOHD), leading oral healthcare brand in Ghana, Pepsodent, in partnership with the Ghana Education Service, The Ghana Dental Association and the Ministry of Health has launched \u201cBrush Day &amp; Night\u2019 school programme to educate children on the benefits of brushing twice a day to avoid major oral problems.
