"Promote the acquisition of healthy eating and hygiene habits, guarantee the correct use of fluoride among the child population and offer surveillance and preventive care of oral health, detecting children with problems early to refer them to the Preventive Dentistry Units" are, in the words of the Councilor for Health, Marcela Server, the main objectives pursued by the Oral Health Program coordinated by the Public Health Center of Dénia and that carries out oral examinations to the student body of Early Childhood Education (5 years).
Paidos, Vessanes, and Llebeig Carmelitas are the schools that are currently enrolled in this free program, having detected an increase in infant caries in the area after the abandonment of the initiative by several centers.
If in doubt about the Oral Health Program, interested parties can go to the Center for Public Health or the health center of the municipality, where children's dental hygienists perform reviews.
