The implementation of the project is made by the Technical Group, Oral Health in partnership with the Municipal Bureau of Education. The Preven-so allows the resumption of the habit of cleaning the teeth that many students lose to join the primary school.

Anyone who has followed this blog will already have been realized as local authorities and central Portugal and Brazil assume postures differentiated on the oral health of the population, in this case it seems that we, Portuguese, we still have much to understand with the work currently in Brazil.
I hope that these posts serve as a warning so that we create also in Portugal policies that allow that any Portuguese citizen can enjoy time of oral health services, regardless of their social condition.
