Necmettin Erbakan University Faculty of Nursing continues to take an active role in the field in line with its vision of protecting and promoting public health. As part of the Public Health Nursing practice, an educational event was organized at Abdüssamed Fazilet Kutucu Primary School by fourth-year nursing students under the coordination of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Fatma Zehra Genç. During the program held on October 21–22, comprehensive Oral and Dental Health Education was provided to first-grade students. Accompanied by thematic boards, colorful visuals, and interactive materials prepared by our students, proper tooth-brushing techniques were demonstrated to the young pupils through hands-on practice. Basic hygiene awareness was instilled through gamified activities and Q&A sessions that allowed children to learn while having fun. Emphasizing the importance of health habits acquired at an early age, the event concluded with great interest and satisfaction from both the students and the school administration.
