Since it opened two years ago on Avenida Almirante Reis, SOL – Saúde Oral in Lisbon, a service of Santa Casa da Misericórdia, has already attended to more than 9,000 people of 38 nationalities and carried out 40,000 free consultations.
Are you between 0 and 18 years old and need to go to the dentist? If you live in the capital, you have access to the free services of SOL – Saúde Oral em Lisboa, an equipment of Misericórdia de Lisboa whose main objective is to prevent the oral health of children and young people.
To register for the various types of consultations, simply present your identification document and confirm your place of residence and age.
According to André Brandão de Almeida, coordinator and clinical director of SOL, the work developed over these two years has been more in the context of treatment than prevention. The objective is to change this reality, that is, to make the response increasingly involve prevention, early treatment and changes in habits.
One of the most recent studies and projects developed by SOL, on eating habits during the period of confinement, reveals that children ate more sugary products and more fresh fruit than usual. Another conclusion: during the time they stayed at home, the children changed the frequency with which they brushed their teeth.

Santa Casa da Misericórdia has gambling recipes nationwide. Isn't it ALSO YOUR OBLIGATION to provide the same oral health support service to all children nationwide, without discriminating where they live?
