MAP launched a project, “Oral Health Promotion for Geriatric Patients via Webinars and Social Media or known as MAP CARE which wad s designed in alignment with the World Oral Health Day 2024 theme, 'Happy Mouth, Happy Body. This project is supported by Malaysian Dental Association under the MDA-WOHD Community Service Grant 2024.
Recognizing the distinct oral health challenges faced by the geriatric population, particularly denture wearers, our initiative employs a dual approach.
Firstly, the introduction of our MAPCARE logo has been launched on our social media platform.
This was followed by several informative and educational posters, topics from how to take care of the oral and denture hygiene to nutritional and dietary advice tailored for denture wearers were launched on our association’s social media platform.
Lastly, nutritional and dietary talk by Dr. Siti Fauzza Ahmad will be recorded and post on our social media. These digital engagements aim to disseminate crucial information to a wider audience.
