Tooth decay is the Number 1 disease affecting young children today.
Baby teeth act as guides for permanent adult teeth. If they are lost prematurely due to decay, adult teeth may not have enough room to properly come in. Poorly cared for baby teeth may also cause infection, pain and discomfort, and problems eating and speaking, as well as issues with low self-esteem.

Children in the developed world may complain about having to brush their teeth each morning and night. However, many of the children living in slums across Kolkata, India are not given this simple privilege due to a lack of access to basic necessities like toothbrushes and running water. Speak 4 Silent Voices not only provides access to toothbrushes and toothpaste, we also make sure our children have access to annual dental check ups and dental care when needed.
