projects Dental Health Without Borders
Dental Health Without Borders (Tandsundhed Uden Grænser ) / (TUG) is a Danish NGO with the aim to improve life possibilities for children in some of the world’s poorest countries through better dental health.
Toothache makes it hard to focus on school and however simple it may sound, it’s the reality for many children in some of the poorest countries of the world.
By spreading the Danish model for school dental care to the world’s poorest countries TUG is looking at establishing sustainable dental development projects in order to ensure happier and healthier children.
TUG teaches school children how to take care of their teeth through daily toothbrushing programmes in school. They collaborate with local NGOs and involve teachers, parents, health workers and dental professionals in order to create sustainable health models which can be continued locally.
They also engage in dialogues with policy makers to advocate for school based dental care on national and regional level.
