Our dental school program has been a success. 564 children from Chini School in Kikavu, were screened, and 222 tooth cavities have been treated. The number of cavities reduced drastically compared to 2017 where the number of children screened were 533 and the number of dental cavities treated were 692. Most dental cavities treated this year are from children that are starting their first school year and haven´t received any previous dental treatment. After lunch all pupils are encouraged to do toothbrushing everyday with the help of the teachers and our dental assistant Oliva. Health Amplifier provides toothbrushes and toothpaste to all the school students. The toothbrushes are replaced every 3 months. Oliva and Sofía are the ones in charge of the control and implementation of the toothbrushing technique.
