The Good Dentist project needs volunteer doctors in the municipality of Cascais. Thank needy children. The mission is simple: to improve the oral health of underprivileged children and young people aged between 11 and 17 years, providing them with free treatment until they are 18 years. Work that the Panel of the Well has played in Portugal since 2010. And it wants to continue to pursue. But it needs volunteers, dentists that offer their time, something goes missing. Cascais is even a county where there is a risk of the mission not be brought to fruition.
Half an hour a week or 15 to 15 days is the time that dentists have to offer in offices, explains the Destak Alaize Maria da Silva, dentist, volunteer and coordinator of the Good Dentist Project in Cascais, where there are already 30 volunteers. But more are needed to join the 550 that exist all over the country. The benefits for children are many. It is not only safeguarded the oral health as improves their self-esteem. The children come to us at the office with his head down, shoulders hunched because they are ashamed. To be dealt with, take the hair out of her eyes. Will now be integrated and have other income, he adds.
And again calls: what we need is volunteer dentists. More information at:
