On Thursday, November 28th, 2024, students of the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Health Osijek, Department of Dental Medicine and Physiotherapy, held an educational workshop for students of EDukOS General Gymnasium on the occasion of International Stress Awareness Week.
The first part of the workshop was dedicated to oral health. Dental medicine students demonstrated proper oral hygiene techniques on tooth models, educating students about the importance of regular use of toothbrushes, dental irrigators and dental floss. They also highlighted the negative impact of smoking and alcohol consumption on oral health.
In the second part of the workshop, physiotherapy students presented practical ergonomic exercises useful in reducing stress and tension in the body. They demonstrated stretching and mobility exercises that students can practice during school breaks or in their free time. To perform the exercises, they used simple, everyday objects such as a water bottle, ball and towel.
We would like to thank the students for their engagement and promotion of healthy, long-term beneficial behavior patterns for the health of the community.
