To Produce Goods Conducive to Improving the People's Health
  From olden times, having strong teeth is regarded as one of five blessings.
  Teeth play an important role in the people's health. So the people's demand for dental hygiene products gets more diverse with each passing day.
  The Pyongyang Dental Hygiene Products Factory has put efforts into expanding the variety of products and improving their quality.
  Here is Song Un Chol, Section Chief of the Pyongyang Dental Hygiene Products Factory.
  "We are producing different kinds of functional toothbrushes which are effective for cleaning teeth, massaging gums and removing dental laden-plaque. We are making researches to develop a greater number of diverse dental hygiene products"



  The factory ensured home production of raw and other materials needed for development of toothpaste. It is now developing functional toothpaste with high concentration of natural aroma as well as with various colours.
  The functional toothpaste developed by the factory is very effective for prevention and treatment of dental diseases as it reduces sensitiveness to the cold or hot and has strong antibacterial action.
  Recently the factory has developed 14 kinds of dental hygiene products, which are in high demand as they give practical help to the people's health.





  The employees of the factory are now working hard to produce a greater number of dental hygiene products in hearty response to the idea and spirit of the Tenth Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea.
