ORAL AND DENTAL HEALTH CARE FOR CHILDREN IN VULNERABLE SITUATIONS

Since 2017, the Pere Tarrés Foundation has been caring for the oral and dental needs not covered by the public health system of children aged under 12 involved in the various socioeducational centres. It does this thanks to donations from individuals and organisations and the cooperation of various dental centres.

MAKE A DONATION

DONATION OF TOOTHBRUSHES AND TOOTHPASTE

The toothbrushes and toothpaste are acquired through donations from companies and the brushes are replaced every five months for hygiene reasons.
