COMMUNITY
DENTAL PROJECT
to improve access to dental care and meet the needs of local population
Tooth decay (dental caries) is the most prevalent form of oral disease, affecting Millions of people worldwide, with children starting suffering from caries since their primary teeth.
However, the condition can be prevented through managing risk factors such ashaving a healthy diet
and adopting good oral hygiene habits, includingbrushing teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste. Tooth decay disproportionately affects people of low socio-economic status, highlighting a pressing need for oral health interventions in communities without adequate access to education or dental care.
BUGNO GATOR, rather Doctor Bugno, was one of our boys in the years '90s when I started my African adventure. He showed interest in tooth care and... Over the years he was able to get a University Degree and he is now leading our projects in the field.
