Greece has lower levels in the epidemiological studies of oral health than other European countries.

The economic situation causes difficulty for a budget to meet the basic needs of some social groups with problems in accessing primary dental care.

The team of SkourasDent is committed to the values of volunteering for providing the core principle of dental health for everyone.

To that respect, we have developed a fixed program of visits to schools, charities and orphanages.

During the visit the oral health professionals explain the fundamentals of practicing dental care with the use of teaching aids and educational toys.

Donations are offered to the children in the form of complete oral hygiene kits including baby toothbrushes and toothpastes.

Clinical examinations and fluoride treatments are also conducted to determine the dental health index of these children to help with demographic oral health promotion.

 The main objective is to familiarize children with the dental care and to reinforce a happy child regime customised with oral health prevention.
