Having dental caries, more commonly known as
cavities, is one of the top public health concerns of not just adults, but kids
too. According to the Department of Health, 92.4% of Filipinos have them. What
is more alarming is that 97% of Filipino children suffer from cavities too.
Students who suffer from cavities not only experience pain and discomfort but may also perform badly in school. Toothaches, developed because of the buildup of cavities, is the most common cause of absenteeism among schoolchildren.
Brushing our teeth has become such a usual
part of everyone’s daily routine that we often forget the importance of doing
it properly. Like most things, it’s better to do them right as young as possible.
That is why Hapee Kiddie launched their Choose
to be Hapee with Hapee Kiddie school caravan with the goal of teaching our
kids how to properly brush their teeth. With the tour’s unique and informative
approach to teaching oral care, it showed the children that brush time need not
be as dull.

One creative way of educating children about their oral care is through a puppet show, led by renowned ventriloquist, Wanlu and his trusty puppets, Nicolo and Hapee, where they further educated the students with their witty yet informative banter.
