JIMBARAN - Widiatmika Junior High School held an "Inspiration Class" with the theme of oral and dental health as part of the 2021 Widiatmika Junior High School Festival (Widifest) event.
The class, held on Tuesday (7/9/2021), brought Drg. Ni Putu Ratri Tinen Darini, a students' parent and a dental specialist from Bali Jimbaran Hospital as a speaker for the talk show.
"Most Indonesians have dental problems, especially cavities. It's important for me to share the causes, how to prevent, and the treatments for those problems," said Putu on Thursday (9/12/2021).
In addition, Putu also shared a lot of information with the Inspiration Class participants about dental caries in the talk show, which lasted for about 1.5 hours. According to her, this is crucial for the participants. Many of them are mostly teenagers. They need to realize the importance of maintaining dental hygiene.
"They should know from the start about how important dental and oral health is," she said.
"For Indonesians, especially ordinary people, even dental health is still considered trivial nowadays. When you feel pain, you should quickly find a dentist. Don't wait until the pain comes," Putu continued.
The Widiatmika Junior High School Festival (Widifest) 2021 officially started Tuesday (1/12/2021).
"Widifest activities are expected to develop students' potential in academic and non-academic fields to become individuals who think critically and have good analysis," said the Chair of the 2021 Widifest Committee, Ni Luh Putu Reza Rosita, Tuesday.
This activity aligns with the Merdeka Belajar (Freedom To Learn) program initiated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, Technology, and Higher Education of Indonesia.
"Freedom To Learn is a conscious effort by the government in providing opportunities for students to dare to be creative and innovate based on their abilities and interests," said Reza.
In addition to the dental health seminar, the Inspiration Class at this Widifest activity also held a mango-mint jam workshop led by Rotary Bali Dewata.
