DENTISTS FOR GOOD is the main project of TdB, and relies on the voluntary work of surgeon-dentists who serve low income children between 11 and 17 years old in their own offices, providing them with free dental treatment until they reach 18.

Nowadays, it’s the largest specialized volunteering network in the world.

Patients are selected by a needs assessment, which is determined by a screening held in public schools or social institutions. Poor children and adolescents, with serious oral problems, and those who are about to have their first job have priority.

The treatment, carried out at the voluntary dentist’s office, has a curative, preventive and educational approach. Project DENTISTS FOR GOD has volunteers all over the country – in 26 states, including the Federal District –, nine countries in Latin American and Portugal.

TdB’s head office makes the connection with all those involved in the project (the benefited teenager, his family, the school and the voluntary dentists), and the monitoring of the treatment.
