VICE President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte is pushing to include the

"mandatory toothbrush drills” in the K to 12 program.The Education secretary said that

dental health is vital, considering the risks that it may pose to kids and adults once
neglected.
Her consciousness of dental protection, which became her personal advocacy, was
based on her learnings from her father, former President Rodrigo Duterte.
Duterte saw that most students lack awareness of proper dental cleaning, which results
in tooth decay, infection, and other consequences
Duterte refers to preventable dental issues like tooth decay, infection, and other
consequences brought by the lack of awareness of proper cleaning.
Part of the dental drills proposed program is the distribution of dental kits with
instructional materials for proper dental cleaning, accompanied by information
campaigns on the matter. In the beginning of their nationwide drills had already seen
one significant obstacle to developing health-promoting schools (HPSs), that poor oral
health was correlated to socio-economic status. How Philippines solved that by
becoming a world economic tiger today is known worldwide. Is the Philippines doing
that template? One of the reasons why we are rendered poorer is politicians privileging
themselves with public money paid for by toiling taxpayers. The Philippines will never be
delivered from poverty if we continue to have unpunished, self-entitled, and thieving
politicians.
Disadvantage
1.Brushing has long been established as an effective method of cleaning the teeth.
Because bacteria is the source of disease, we emphasize cleaning your teeth and gums
daily at home. The objective of brushing is to accomplish two things.
2.To prevent tooth decay and gum disease and to remove the buildup of plaque on
exposed surfaces of the teeth.
3.No ability or prior skill is required in the cleaning of teeth. Brushing should occur after
breakfast, as well as at bedtime.
4. Brush long enough to do the job. That means three minutes of brushing.
