Another matter of interest to the oral health; here are in working methods that benefit the very people in need.
For now, Portugal, it was the lack of disclosure of such initiatives - in fact, combining the lack of information of the population in need of care oral addition to the silence on the part of anyone of law is required to ensure the oral health of the population, especially the most disadvantaged and needy. It will not be for lack of jurisdiction, lack of resources or lack of means; simply need is political will.
It is therefore extremely important for their cooperation to build up public opinion in Portugal informed: read and disclose how far can this Blog - the results can only arise when end the ignorance in our country and the public Tuesday to vote on issues of fact public health.
