About Save Their Smiles
Save Their Smiles came to life after Hanna Ekstrom visited the rural area of Northeast Nicaragua and witnessed the condition of the children’s teeth. Eager to find a way to help, Ekstrom assembled a team of volunteers and returned to the area to provide dental education and basic dental care to its youth. The organization’s efforts are divided into two programs: From the First Tooth and Brush at School. From the First Tooth was created for children 0-4 years old, in which parents are given a toothbrush at the children’s six-month check-up and educated about proper dental health and the importance of establishing good habits prior to a child’s teeth showing signs of decay. The program geared toward school-aged children (5-17 years old), known as Brush at School, provides toothbrushes to students and daily instruction by teachers for the children to brush their teeth for two minutes. Additionally, dental educators from the program go to the schools on a bi to tri-annual basis to provide fluoride treatments to the children.
In the 10 years since its inception, Save Their Smiles has touched the lives of nearly 11,000 children and is now seeing children participating in the school-age segment with mouths full of healthy teeth. While Save Their Smiles has come a long way since its beginnings, it still needs additional help and funding to supply toothbrushes and toothpaste, fluoride applications, dental educators, as well as surgical instruments.
