Costarricenesé de Mujeres Universitarias Since
the project began in 2002, more than 400 children have been checked in
a successful operation by a team of 11 doctors and nurses. The majority
of patients checked received free dental treatment and instruction in
oral hygiene and dental care. Teachers
have reported a noticeable improvement in the performance of the children
in school and increased attendance levels. In
2006 the project was expanded to include first and second grade pupils
and in 2007, the project was further extended to include all students
up to sixth grade. In additions, teachers, school administrative
staff and mothers were also treated and received instructon on oral hygiene
and dental care. In
2008 it is proposed to increase the dental staff from 11 to 14 to help
broaden the dental cover, and provide more efficient monitoring and follow-up
care and treatment. |
