Most of the world lives very poorly, unlike those
in industrialized countries. They are lacking in the basic essentials:
food, shelter and health care.
Renewable resources have been addressed by other help groups, but health
care have not been bought up to adequacy.
Short term medical workers cannot sustain care, language / cultural
barriers have blocked inroads to what is a growing health care problem
in the 3rd world.
Additionally, according to NCOHF web site:
“The #1 Childhood Disease is Pediatric Dental Disease” !
MORE THAN 80% in the 3rd world SUFFER FROM SERIOUS ORAL HEALTH PROBLEMS THAT
NEGATIVELY impact their ability to eat, sleep and learn. Discolored, decayed
and abscessed teeth are painful and can result in severe psychological,
social and economic consequences.
Before the institution of preventive dentistry in the 1950s, USA
had an even higher caries rate. So we know It's completely
preventable with help from caring individuals like you.... it can be
dealt with by low tech, minimally trained personnel and low
amt of resources.
