December2018/January2019 AMSOC-CAMPINAS KeepThoseSmilesShiningBright! ByManuMoreno,CampinasCACmember We recently lunched with the children of Grupo Primavera and realized that the vast majority did not brush their teeth after eating, or used their fingers to brush their teeth. Lack of education about the importance of oral hygiene,aswellasthecostofatoothbrush for each family member, are the main causesofthisproblem. Wedecidedtolaunchacampaignamong our members and volunteers, which we called ‘Toothfaries’, and collected 290 toothbrushes and tubes of toothpaste. With the help of a volunteer dentist, we talked about the importance of our teeth and about the ‘Keep Our Mouth Clean’ initiative for children ages 5 to 13. For the younger children, the dentist inspected eachchild'smouth,notingthosewhoneed treatment for cavities or orthodontics, directingthesechildrenthroughthesocial workerstothehealthclinictotakecareof theirteethandtheirsmile.
