331. Oral Health: What should be compulsory in school education and no one speaks

Without a firm attitude of parents or guardians, any child or teen may have jeopardized his smile definitely for the rest of his life, with serious psychological and physical problems associated with it.
Why are these issues are not directly addressed and treated, are now virtually banned from mandatory school curricula of primary and secondary?
After all, if there is an Order of Dentists, what is its function within the policies of disease prevention for oral health in childhood and adolescence? There are surely to fall asleep next to concerns that the Ministries of Education and Health have always been negligible, in general, the oral health of children and adolescents covered by primary and secondary education in our country.
After all, much, really, to be done by the young Portuguese democracy was born on April 25, 1974, and one of those things is to combat the systematic violation of human rights by the Portuguese and their governments, when we talk in children's access and young people to oral health treatment in our country, drafted in light of the economic possibilities of each family.
