All campaigns raise awareness for oral health are welcome. For this initiative the City of S. Pedro do Sul, raises the question whether the promoters of the initiative were careful to do before the screening of the oral health of all children involved and whether it's because your referral doctor.
At a time when senior political leaders of the country are more concerned to discuss if the schools become the gateway to the distribution of condoms to adolescents without economic needs and hunger than providing health care to those who need such as bread to the mouth, the remainder goes to local government bridging the obligations of the Ministries of Education and Health (since they do nothing for the primary health of children and adolescents who attend schools in the country, voted to all kinds of abandonment and the fate of their day to day).
Shameful, very shameful behavior concerning oral health care of children and adolescents, by the Government, Members of the majority in parliament and even the President of the Republic, that a country that is part of the European Union.
