Baba Jaswant Singh Dental College and Hospital Principal, Dr Namita Singh, has been awarded the prestigious “Star Pedodontist 2025” by the Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry (ISPPD), officials said.
The accolade recognises her significant contributions to pedodontics, preventive dentistry, dental education, and research.
Dr Singh has been a strong advocate for early dental visits, preventive care, and child-friendly dental practices to promote healthy smiles from infancy through adolescence.
Highlighting essential advice for parents, she stressed the importance of starting oral hygiene from the eruption of the first tooth, supervising brushing twice daily with age-appropriate fluoride toothpaste, limiting sugary foods and drinks, and ensuring regular dental check-ups.
Dr Singh’s efforts underscore the critical role of preventive dental care in fostering long-term oral health among children.
