In a bid to prioritize the holistic health of its workforce, Rio Tuba Nickel Mining Corporation (RTNMC) rolled out a comprehensive Oral Health Awareness campaign.

This initiative, held on February 7 and 8, marked a significant milestone in the commitment of RTNMC, an operating company of Nickel Asia Corporation (NAC) to employee welfare and underscored the intrinsic link between oral health and overall well-being.

Part of a NAC-wide Occupational Health (OH) simultaneous activity across all its subsidiaries, the initiative saw employees and contractors of RTNMC engaging in enlightening sessions led by Dr. Arcinas.

With expertise and enthusiasm, Dr. Arcinas elucidated the profound impact of oral health on one's overall physical well-being, shedding light on its implications for pregnancy and workforce productivity.

Central to the discourse was the often-overlooked connection between oral health and Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders, emphasizing the importance of proactive oral care beyond mere tooth and gum pain.

Dr. Arcinas imparted practical tips for maintaining optimal oral hygiene, empowering attendees to take proactive steps towards a healthier smile and a healthier self.

Beyond the educational component, the event fostered a sense of camaraderie and participation. Attendees enthusiastically took part in interactive sessions, games, and engaging Q&A segments, further reinforcing key messages and promoting a culture of oral health awareness.

As a tangible expression of RTNMC's commitment to employee well-being, participants were also provided with complimentary dental kits, equipping them with the tools necessary to embark on their oral health journey.

Moreover, the event culminated in the recognition of individuals who demonstrated exceptional engagement and knowledge retention, further incentivizing active participation.

Through this initiative, RTNMC not only elevated oral health awareness among its workforce but also underscored the organization's steadfast dedication to fostering a culture of holistic wellbeing.

By recognizing the profound impact of oral health on individual health and productivity, RTNMC sets a commendable precedent for corporate responsibility and employee-centric initiatives within the mining industry.

As employees and contractors leave the event armed with newfound knowledge and resources, they do so with brighter smiles and a renewed commitment to their overall health and vitality.
