In Portugal, 59 per cent of six-year-olds have tooth decay and 47 per cent of six-year-olds brush their teeth just once a day. 63 per cent of families with children under the age of six have never visited the dentist. It is in response to this reality that the ‘Aprender a Ser Saudável’ (Learning to Be Healthy) project has emerged, because we believe that all children have the right to grow and develop in a healthy way; it is therefore essential to support the education of children. The project therefore aims to promote oral health and healthy eating amongst nursery and primary school children attending school clusters located in priority areas within the Municipality of Porto, with a view to helping reduce the prevalence of oral diseases.
