Dentist Day
15 February 2021
On February 9, 2021, a festive event
dedicated to the Day of the Dentist was held at the school of nursing education
of the "Karaganda Medical University" among students of the
educational programs "Dentistry", "Orthopedic Dentistry" on
the Microsoft Teams platform. The dean of the school Estemesova Karlygash
Amangeldievna congratulated the Day of the Dentist and wished smiles, health
and academic success.

The students got acquainted with
the history of the origin of the ancient profession. In the Pakistani province,
teeth that are more than 14,000 years old were found, with traces of their
treatment and drilling. Initially, shamans were involved in dental treatment.
For this, medicinal herbs and spells were used. In ancient Egypt, this
profession was widespread and in demand. It was the Egyptians who invented the
first toothpaste. By the found mummies, we can judge the achievements of those
times in the field of dentistry. Even then, they knew how to drill teeth,
fasten the fallen out with gold wire, use herbs in the treatment of dental
diseases and as part of fillings. Modern dentistry has achieved incredible
development, thanks to which you can forget about pain and fear when visiting a
dentist, while getting a gorgeous smile and healthy teeth.
One of the interesting stages
of the event was contests and quizzes organized by the curator Valeria
Valerievich Lyuts. Students Sharipov Danil, Wegner Ksenia, Zaitseva Victoria,
Abzhanov Zhandos, Illarionov Danil took an active part in the event. The jury
included teachers Gulzada Abkenovna Balmagambetova, Valery Valerievich Lyuts,
Olzhabay Ayerke Zhanatkyzy.
