During Carole's visit, she distributed TePe Toothpaste and toothbrushes to children in need, ensuring each child recieved proper toothbrushing instruction. Her efforts have made a meaningful impact in a region where dental hygiene resources are scarce. Carole expressed her gratitude for the experience and shared how rewarding it was to contribute, even in a small way, to improving children's oral health.
Carole's time in Peru with Dental Mavericks has made a significant impact on the local community. By distributing toothbrushes and toothpaste to children and providing essential toothbrushing instruction, Carole helped raise awareness about oral hygiene in underserved areas. Her efforts ensured that every child she encountered received the tools and knowledge to maintain better oral health, contributing to long-term improvements in dental care access and education. This initiative not only addressed immediate needs but also empowered the community with sustainable practices for healthier futures.
