dental program

After many years of taking dental teams to the Ixil region of Guatemala, WIND is beginning to see fruit from our labor. From our efforts to educate children and teachers, we have witnessed better overall dental hygiene practices. The result is fewer extractions and more preventative care. We feel that we are just starting to gain momentum toward the desired long term impact. But our efforts are only beginning.

 We desire to create a dental program that is unique in the realm of dental care to impoverished communities around the world. A program that is focused on long-term change in behavior toward dental hygiene and can be replicated anywhere in the world.

It is the vision of WIND to deliver a progressive and sustainable dental program which will forever change the dental health in the community of San Juan Cotzal, Quiche, Guatemala. The program will be anchored in prevention through effective education of every child and family in the community.
