405. MANGUALDE: Draft municipal oral health

The Board of Mangualde was the only city council in the district of Viseu and the first country that accepted the proposal of the Portuguese Association of Oral Health: a project on oral health over two years. The first phase of teeth cleaning, which focused on elementary and middle schools of the county, ended this week and is already considered the most successful experiments in this field. But the results are staggering: nearly 80% of children have teeth with cavities. The association is satisfied, but regrets the lack of interest from other municipalities.

Someone you please tell if this program is still in business? What is the balance made by the Portuguese Association of Oral Health and the Municipality of Mangualde's work? We await an explanation.
