A national action will select five thousand children and adolescents in a situation of social vulnerability, aged 11 to 17 years, to receive free dental treatment. The initiative, called Megiatry 2025 will be held on May 15 in 148 municipalities from all over Brazil .
At the same time, 12 capitals receive the action: Aracaju (SE), Belo Horizonte (MG), Brasilia (DF), Curitiba (PR), João Pessoa (PB), Manaus (AM), Porto Alegre (RS), Recife (PE), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Salvador (BA), Sao Paulo (SP), Vitória (ES).
The complete list of the cities contemplated can be checked in the official website. The event is organized by the NGO Turma do Bem, which generates a network with 18,000 volunteer dentists.
During the action, participants will be evaluated by a volunteer dentist through a Non -invasive visual examination in which information on oral health and the patient’s socioeconomic condition will be recorded, and a oral hygiene kit .
How will the action work?
The selected young people will win Free dental monitoring until they reach 18 . Selection criteria take into account the severity of the dental problem and the economic and social situation of young people, prioritizing the most serious cases and the poorest families.
How to participate?
To apply for treatment, no prior registration is required. Just look for the places of your cities or nearby cities on the official website. Young people must be between 11 and 17 years old and need to be accompanied by a guardian. It is indispensable RG and proof of residence at the screening site.
After simultaneous screenings, the Gang of Good team will send a letter of approval For young people who are selected for free dental treatment with all the necessary information.
“It is always very inspiring to see our dentists mobilized to promote real transformations in the lives of people who need so much. Not having access to oral health care just because they can’t pay for a treatment is still a reality for millions of Brazilians,” says Fábio Bibancos, voluntary president and founder of the NGO.
In 2024, the same action benefited more than five thousand young people. The goal of the NGO is to offer free dental treatment to the low -income population with serious oral problems. The project focuses on two main audiences: young people aged 11 to 17 and women victims of gender violence who had their dentition affected.
