Program Impact
Agama Charity welcomes volunteer dentists, hygienists, and dental assistants to join our volunteer teams travelling to Tanzania
Agama Charity - Dental care project mission is to provide dental care and oral health education to children with little access to a dentist. In partnership with local organizations, field clinics are set up at schools and municipal facilities.
In these clinics, children receive an exam, restorations and extractions as needed, a cleaning when possible, a fluoride treatment, sealants, and oral health instruction. Care is provided primarily to restore permanent teeth, and children are recalled every two years to ensure long-term health.
Along with toothbrush instruction and nutrition counseling, each child receives a fluoride varnish treatment. We are committed to treating a school every 1.5 to 2 years to improve the oral health of each child and instill a culture of good oral hygiene for generations to come.
