Dentistas sin Fronteras
Dentists without Borders have visited Carita Feliz for
the past two years and through their skilled (and free)
dental treatment, make an incredible difference to the
local community.
In July 2004, more than 30
dentists from Spain visited the center as part of a one
month tour of Nicaragua organised by
Caritas Diosesanas de Nicaragua. They are young qualified
dentists who gain substantial experience because of the
number of patients they see and the extent of dental
hygiene problems in Nicaragua. The dentists pay for
their own travel and accommodation; Carita Feliz
provides the patients. The dentists
offer
tooth extraction, porcelain caps and teeth cleaning.
This visit was a follow-up
from their visit
in 2003 and in only 4 days, the team attended 750
people!
