The dental activities were held from March 1 to 10 at the health centers in Barangay Tangos, Barangay San Roque, and Bagong Lipunan, and will visit other areas until the month of April.
The local government said that the bus will return to the health center in Bagong Lipunan on Friday, March 11, and will proceed to Kaunlaran Village on March 14 up to 16.
Dental checkup and tooth extraction will also be conducted at Phase 2, Area 1 Health Center on March 17 and 18; Tanza Health Center on March 21 up to 23; and in Barangay Bagumbayan North on March 24, 25, and 28.
Patients from Barangay Balungkasi can also have their teeth checked as the dental bus will come to their health center on March 29 and 30.
The activities will also be held at the Barangay NBBS Proper Health Center on March 31, April 1 and April 4.
The local government said that it will also conduct the activities in barangays Sipac-Almacen (April 5 to 7), NBBN (April 11 to 12), and at the SRV Satellite Health Center (April 13 to 15).

Parents and guardians should accompany the minors and must present their valid identification cards.
The dental bus will only accept walk-in patients after the services for those who are scheduled are finished, the local government said.
