What Services Do We Provide To Kids?
Teeth Cleaning
Teeth cleanings is something that most people in developed countries are used to. It is far from truth in developing countries. People often go to see dentist only when a tooth needs to be extracted. We change this dinamic, one family at a time.
Gum Treatment
Sometimes, a deep cleaning is needed. Then we use different tools to get under the gum and get rid of visible, hardened bacteria. We explain the process to kids and their parents. This procedure can usually be prevented with proper oral health.
Crowns
Crowns help restore broken teeth and protect damaged teeth. Crowns help kids smile and chew better. However, our mission is to explain that nothing is better than their own, healthy teeth. We spend time educating every family on the importance of dental care.
Teeth Extractions
Only if a tooth can’t be saved, we will extract it, while teaching kids and their parents about importance of keeping their teeth healthy.
Restorations
Fillings are the most commonly done dental procedure. Most kids tht we treat wait until a cavity is painful to see the dentist. After our trips, they know that they can stop and prevent cavities.
Root Canal
Root canals or pulpotomies will be done when the cavity is too deep to do a filling. We educate kids and their parents that prevention can help them avoid root canals in the future
You can help in many ways, not just by donating!
