The Indian Dental Association (IDA) is applauding the launch of the Wrigley Oral Healthcare Programme in India, according to a story on Sindhtoday.net.
The new program "will bring dental professionals and students together, develop research initiatives and exchange programs, and encourage clinical research on plaque reduction and saliva stimulus," IDA President Lt. Gen. (ret.) Paramjit Singh said in the story.
The program, which operates in 47 countries, is an initiative designed to support dental professionals by providing them information and practical resources to promote a healthy oral care routine among their patients in the Indian context, according to Wrigley.
