Enhancing the protection of socially vulnerable groups by providing mobile specialized dental care free of charge and on a non discriminatory basis
Smile for Heroes is a humanitarian initiative aimed at improving access to dental services and strengthening oral health among socially vulnerable groups, including temporarily displaced persons, elderly individuals, people with disabilities, large families, and others
The project was launched in response to limited access to dental services during emergency situations
During mobile dental missions, patients receive free and non discriminatory dental care, comprehensive examinations, professional consultations, and necessary treatment
The project aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal No. 3 Good Health and Well Being
