The importance of the English language has become crucial in recent years, when you are looking for qualified job opportunities or better educational alternatives.

However, the teaching of English in Peru does not begin until adolescence and in a non-intensive way. At the end of high school education, there are very few people whom really learned some of this language. According to the organization EducationFirst, Peru ranks 45 out of 72 countries in the domain of this language, considering it within the category of low level.

In our Dental Care Program you can use your dental experience to help illuminate the smiles of peruvian children. Many children do not have access to dental services and the need for a professional job done. In this project we will work with the collaboration of a professional dentist who oversees the program.

For the groups, the volunteer work can be done in a rural school or orphanage. For individual dentists, they will work with professional dentists in their clinics. The work that is done depends on the time you have to volunteer, and the different needs of each project, and what the volunteer would like to gain from the experience.

Dental tasks include:

Stretch and Dental Prophylaxis
This treatment consists of a deep cleaning of each tooth with special tools provided by the Bright Smiles program and the professional dentist. You can do it manually or with a mechanical brush. Through this treatment volunteers can completely eliminate the presence of soft and hard plaque, to avoid problems in the future such as gingivitis.

Sealer
The purpose of this process is to prevent the increase of caries in children. Volunteers will apply sealant while supervised by the professional dentist.

Dental Restoration
Volunteers will work with children who already have enamel loss or have tooth decay. Depending on the patient's case, the restoration can be done with a glass ionomer or a resin. Before putting the filling, the volunteers will have to eliminate the cavities.

Simple or Complex Extraction
Under the supervision of the professional dentist, volunteers will extract a tooth when there is no other way to save the tooth. The volunteers will remove or eliminate the tooth or root that harms the patient's oral health.

Fluor application
With this process, the volunteer will help maintain the dental health of children's teeth and their dental structure. The volunteers will apply a topical gel to all the teeth under the supervision of the professional dentist.

It is also necessary for volunteers to be aware that they will encounter the cultural differences in Peru that they must be willing to respect. Our volunteers must be willing to participate in your project and have an open mind towards the differences that may arise.

Our goal is to encourage children and their families to develop their own physical abilities so that they can be the main agents of change and improvement in their lives.
