The dental fraternity is an integral part of Colgate's Oral Health Month. Colgate partners with the largest recognized body of dental professionals in India, the Indian Dental Association (IDA) to offer free dental check-ups. This partnership has been in existence since the introduction of the Oral Health Month in 2004.

With more than 2,300,000 check-ups, Oral Health Month 2010 saw a 32% increase in the number as compared with 2009. This year, Colgate hopes to substantially expand the spread of the Oral Health Month from 23,992 dentists and 1005 towns last year.

For 2011, Dental Check-up is available in the following cities:

This program was introduced in 2008 . Last year this program involved Colgate partnering with 120 dental colleges where free dental check-ups were offered and more than 2000 young dental professionals from these colleges conducted the check-ups. In addition these dental professionals reached out to nearby schools and underprivileged areas where they conducted free check-ups and educated the people on the importance of good oral hygiene. Colgate will continue with the program this year as well.

Colgate in its continued commitment to serve the society by creating an awareness for good oral hygiene, introduced mobile dental vans in 6 cities to reach underprivileged areas and conduct free dental check-ups in 2008. Through this initiative Colgate intended to reach out to masses that have limited access to dental care and highlight the importance of good oral health care habits. The dentists in addition to conducting the free check-ups, educated the children and their families on good oral hygiene practices. In 2010, Colgate organized mobile dental vans and conducted 140,000 check-ups across 23 towns and cities across India. The success of this program has encouraged Colgate to continue with the mobile vans to conduct the free check-ups in underprivileged areas and to educate the people on the importance of good oral hygiene.
