Social Project for the correct use of dental care implements

This project aims to promote awareness and education about the importance of dental hygiene and the proper use of oral care implements in remote populations of the Peruvian Andes.

Education on the Importance of Dental Hygiene:

Education plays a fundamental role in the transformation of oral hygiene practices in these high Andean communities. This aspect of the project involves conducting interactive and dynamic talks that not only explain the relevance of maintaining a healthy mouth, but also demystify common myths and fears related to visiting the dentist. Children and their families participate in rich discussions that address topics such as cavity prevention, gum disease, and the importance of a healthy smile in everyday life.

Beyond simply providing toothbrushes and toothpaste, this component of the project focuses on teaching beneficiaries how to use these implements effectively. Hands-on demonstrations include proper brushing techniques, flossing, and mouthwashes. This ensures that children and their families not only have access to these resources, but also know how to get the most out of them to maintain good long-term oral health.

Distribution of Dental Hygiene Kits to children in the Alto Andinas communities

The delivery of dental hygiene kits is an essential step to ensure that communities have access to the elements necessary to maintain their healthy smiles.
