Caring for Smiles and Confidence

By Pedro Henrique Brito Santos | Cepac Barueri

Inside Cepac's dental office, what may seem like just another appointment is an opportunity to provide security, guidance, and care to the children who need it most. Many arrive in situations of social vulnerability and under judicial protection, and each consultation becomes a moment of care and trust-building.

Over the past months, we have provided dental care, oral hygiene education, and toothbrush kits. Each session is designed to ensure that children learn, feel cared for, and leave with improved oral health and a sense of being valued. Small victories emerge when we see a more confident smile or hear curious questions about dental care.

Our office remains welcoming, where details like books, toys, and illustrations help create a lighter and more inviting environment. We remain committed to strengthening children's health and well-being, respecting their stories, and encouraging their autonomy.
