Thursday, May 17th Fluoride treatments at a village school

This morning we went to village school and had the opportunity to provide fluoride treatments to the children there grade 1 through 6.  We want to thank our dentists who provided toothbrushes, floss, and toothpaste for the children.  Dental care here in this village as well as many others is a huge need as sugary drinks and other snacks are what many of them consume.  And with the lack of available dental care in these remote areas, and the means to get it, many wait until there is much decay, and problems.

Continued education on appropriate eating habits, and proper brushing/flossing, with routine fluoride treatments can help to instill valuable habits into the lives of the people in the villages.
