JAKARTA - comedian Dustin Tiffani visited a scavenger village in Menteng Atas, Central Jakarta, last weekend. The 32-year-old man is happy to be invited to share with Formula in Pemulung Village.

"I am happy to be invited to share with Formula in the Upper Menteng Scavengers Village. Sharing and educating residents about the importance of maintaining dental health. For example, paying attention to the condition of the brush, don't let it loosen, be replaced at least once every two months, so that it is more optimal to clean your teeth," said Dustin in a media statement, Wednesday, May 29.

Based on the World Health Assembly (WHA) in 2021, a resolution on oral health recommends a shift from a traditional curative approach to a preventive approach that includes promotion of mouth health in the family, school and workplace, and includes timely, comprehensive and inclusive services in primary health care systems.

Regarding this resolution, the World Health Organization (WHO) set a target by 2030 of at least 50% of children aged 5 years free from dental caries and 90% of adults free from loss of teeth due to periodontitis. Formula as the original Indonesian oral care brand supports the WHO target by consistently holding dental and mouth health education accompanied by the distribution of free toothbrushes as well as free dental treatment and care to the general public.

Located in Menteng Atas Reservoir Village, Jakarta, FORMULA, Kita Bisa and the Faculty of Dental Medicine, Moestopo University held a social action of dental and mouth health education, free dental treatment, free dental brush distribution and distribution of basic necessities to hundreds of residents.

On May 12 - 22, FORMULA and FKG Moestopo University held a Moestopo Jelajah Nusantara (MJN) activity on Seram Island, Maluku as part of the Early campaign for the Strength of Goods Earth which was held since March 2024. MJN's activity succeeded in distributing free toothbrushes, education, and free dental treatment by reaching more than 6,000 people there. As a cover of this series of campaign activities, we carried out free dental education and treatment in the Upper Menteng Reservoir Village. As a form of FORMULA's concern for the community, especially underprivileged residents," explained Harianus Zebua, Head of Corporate and Marketing Communication OT Group (Formula Oral Care) to the media in Menteng, Jakarta.

Since March 2024, the donation movement for new brushes for others who are underprivileged by inserting a new toothbrush has received a warm welcome at a number of points such as schools, offices and locations of a number of events related to the month of Ramadan.

We have collected thousands of donation brushes from the community to be distributed to underprivileged residents, one of which is in the Upper Menteng Scaveng Village. Underprivileged residents are still rarely reached by corporations in terms of dental and mouth health education. We hope that more underprivileged people will be able to be served in terms of healthy teeth and mouth. Underprivileged residents are also entitled to access to healthy teeth and mouth. This small step hopefully can inspire others to do the same thing so that more people can be reached, "added Harianus.

One of the ideals of Indonesia gold can be realized if the Indonesian people have good health conditions, especially related to the health of the teeth and mouth. Good mouth and teeth will certainly have a positive impact on the health of the body in general. The next generation of the nation, which will realize a golden Indonesia, is of course with daily productivity that is free from disturbances in the problem of teeth and mouth. Together with FORMULA and all related parties, the realization of a healthy Indonesian society as capital for an advanced and prosperous Indonesia, "concluded Harianus.
