The Health Ministry launched a campaign for oral health in all Spanish children between 7 and 15 can freely visit the dentist during the year 2009. Bernat Soria, Minister for Health and Consumer Protection, said the aim is that oral health with respect to all and the smile of every child should never depend on its status. Therefore, it will promote the extension of these services in Spain, with the signing of agreements with the Autonomous Communities. The project includes extensive coverage of dental services, from annual reviews to special treatment, through fillings, extraction of teeth or mouth cleaning, for instance.

The same problem in two sister countries: Spain makes up prevention campaigns to correct the problem; in Portugal is hiding the problem to avoid at prevention.
Quite disgraceful conduct of public and private Portuguese, directly related to oral health care by restricting the access of children and young people to primary health care according to their social class, it was not for this that made the revolution on April 25, 1974. It is imperative to expose the scandal, here and abroad, because we all pay taxes equally for the training of dentists and dentists, who can not only be serving the rich social classes.
