Practising oral and dental hygiene eliminates the dental plaque that forms naturally and permanently on the surface of teeth.
The daily elimination of dental plaque enables one to avoid diseases, that can have serious consequences for children in the villages of India.
Humanium supports such awareness campaigns as well as the distribution of toothbrushes and toothpaste.
