The Mobile Dental Bus of the ICSSC (NGYSZ) performed free dental examining and oral hygiene counseling for 2,000 children this year as part of the OTP Bank Dental Roadshow.

Colgate-Palmolive Hungary with gift toothbrushes and toothpastes. The dental bus visited 8 locations - Budapesten, Balatonfenyvesen, Magyarmecskén, Királyegyházán, Szentesen, Fóton, Miskolcon és Pécs – where more than 2000 children’s teeth was examined.
Disadvantaged, injured children also participated in the examinations. Children were also given oral hygiene advice how to keep their teeth and gums healthy. Unfortunately, the volunteer dentists had bad experiences this year as well.
Sometimes more than half of the examined children had carious teeth, and there were places where the rate was even worse.
We hope that, as in previous years, the bus will be able to go to more locations and The ICSS’ dentists will be able to examine more children's teeth.
