Dental Services

One of the most sensitive areas for people in poverty is dental care because there are many who need this care, but it is very difficult to access because it is costly. Our medical center has a dental office with quality dental equipment. The services we provide are as follows:

· Extractions
· Cleaning
· Fillings
· Root Canal
· X-ray
· Treatment for Infections

We also have a special agreement with some private clinics to provide reduced rates for:

· Whitening
· Braces

We are able to accept credit for braces and whitening if orders are submitted through these companies. The help of the companies allows us to subsidize the cost of the services for those who need it most.

Medical Center in Chamelecón

As a result of the damages caused by hurricane MITCH in 1998, our organization decided to develop a Center of Medical Assistance in the community of Chamelecón. Our purpose is to provide medical services to the families in this area because they live in extreme poverty. With this same project, we seek to implement special programs of infantile nutrition, STDs, dental hygiene, and donating blood. We hope to provide long-term solutions to the health problems for the problem of malnutrition.

At the moment, we have a general doctor who works from Monday to Friday for four hours daily, and three dentists who work five days a week for four hours daily.

We assist people with minimal economic resources. Depending on their situation, service and medicine is offered free of charge or at a low cost.

The medical center currently has many need, such as funding for a full-time doctor and more beds for patients. This past year we have made several improvements in the medical center, and we are looking to continually improve it.
