🌱 PROJECT D.A.H.O.N. 🌱
Developing A Healthy Outlook through Nutrition and Nature

Today, we take another meaningful step toward building healthier children, stronger families, and greener communities.

In celebration of Nutrition Month 2026, we are proud to launch Project D.A.H.O.N., a Nutrition Legacy Project that promotes proper nutrition, environmental stewardship, and healthy living through fun and educational activities for our young learners.

From learning about the Pinggang Pinoy, engaging in exercise and nutrition games, to planting malunggay, catuday, and fruit-bearing trees, we are planting not only seeds—but also hope, health, and a brighter future.

Together, let us inspire our children to care for their health and our environment because every small act of planting today creates a healthier tomorrow.

💚 “Little hands plant today, healthy families harvest tomorrow.”

Our heartfelt gratitude to all our partners, volunteers, and participating organizations for making this initiative possible. Together, we plant. Together, we grow. Together, we nourish. 🌿🍎

Every smile tells a story, and behind every healthy smile is a dentist whose commitment, compassion, and dedication make a lasting difference.

We proudly share the "Dentista Ako" —a heartfelt tribute to the men and women of the dental profession who tirelessly serve their communities with skill, integrity, and genuine care. More than a celebration of dentistry, this is a reflection of our calling: to heal, to educate, to inspire confidence, and to transform lives—one patient, one smile, and one act of service at a time.

May this video remind us of the purpose that unites us as dental professionals and inspire the next generation to embrace our profession with passion, excellence, and humanity.
To every dentist, dental student, dental educator, and member of the dental team—this tribute is for you. Thank you for choosing a profession dedicated not only to oral health, but also to improving the lives of those we serve.

Please watch, share, and celebrate with us as we honor the heart behind every smile.

🥗 What’s on Your Plate for a Healthy Smile? 😁

A healthy smile begins with healthy choices. The foods we eat every day play a vital role not only in our overall health but also in keeping our teeth and gums strong and disease-free.

This Nutrition Month 2026, the Philippine Dental Association – Ilocos Sur Chapter Inc. encourages everyone to fill their plates with nutritious fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other healthy foods while limiting sugary snacks and drinks that can lead to tooth decay.

🍎 Eat smart.
🦷 Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
💧 Drink plenty of water.
😊 Visit your dentist regularly.

Together, let’s nourish our bodies, protect our smiles, and inspire healthier communities—one plate and one smile at a time.
