Mga Munting Ngiti (Sweet Little Smiles) – BSBF winner 2005
50 Children, Grade 1 Learners
From grade 1 schoolchildren (6 year olds), the project was pushed to be implemented to the child’s preschool years (3 to 5 years old) in daycare centres because earlier intervention will result in better outcomes before the permanent 6’s come out. Moreover, good oral hygiene habits, integrated with handwashing, proved to be more sustainable and attractive to local government support. The addition of another technology, silver diamine fluoride (SDF), is more feasible and cost effective in the control of caries during the child’s early years.
The project became our central point of advocacy for Philippine Dentistry for the GIDA areas or in areas with limited resources. It has spawned more projects in other local areas, and has definitely increased awareness on early disease prevention and control.
The BSBF Award gave me MORE opportunities (and the credibility) to push the program concept to other government and non-government organisations in improving children’s oral health, aligned with the principles of equity and upcoming Universal Health Care. Currently, I have become the Chief of the Oral Health Division of the Department of Health of the Philippines, and I owe all my learnings from all the projects we have initiated since the BSBF Award. I got my inspiration to serve better and serve more after the BSBF Award.
The award is presented on alternate years at the IAPD Congress for the best preventive oral health community program serving children.
The value of the Prize is 2000 US Dollars (two thousand dollars). In addition, there will be two runners up prizes of 500 US dollars (five hundred dollars) each.
