Bauru (BRAZIL) - About 19 thousand students of the municipal system of education in Bauru, the nursery to primary education, are receiving education kit, containing oral door-brush, tooth brush and paste. The city invested U.S. $ 50 thousand in purchase of 23 thousand kits and even heaven puppet, macro models, books and educational slides that are being used in the activities of the Smile Bauru.
The program was restructured and, in this new phase, the dentists and dental assistants, are making visits to local schools. They hold lectures for students and teachers emphasizing the importance of oral health care with and teaching the correct brushing.

On the contrary, we all right here! While this remains general anesthesia society, there remains a continuing inertia and lack of efficiency of the competent authorities in relation to a policy of oral health for the entire population, this is, basically, always forgotten and doomed to the fate that has.
Unfortunately, both governments, parliaments and associations of professionals linked to oral health sector have complete and total responsibility for what has occurred over the last twenty years in Portugal - infest the public opinion on the facts but never been interested in solving the real problems of Oral health in our country.
I do not understand spending a few crumbs here and there, showing generosity by a handful of unfortunate people in life, then when there are thousands of millions to invest in treatment costs and completely avoidable, for the benefit and income from it is known there for whoever ...
Here's how it is the policy of oral health in Portugal.
