Kids Dental Village

Visão geral

SPECTRUM: Middle-down

SERVICE IDEA: Sustainable Business

CATEGORY: Care

DESCRIPTION: The goal of the project is to provide quality healthcare to a community that cannot afford
it. They aim to create changes in people’s lives through education as well as superior
care.

Kid’s Dental Village works to create “nano” changes in peoples lives by informing people
of how something as small as flossing nightly can prevent one of the countries most
widespread epidemics amongst the youth, cavities. All of their employee’s have gone
through a “sustainability curriculum” that basically teaches them to become more
conscious of their impact upon society. They are all from the community and hence, the
company is more immersed with the community. He moved on to say that “We don’t just
fill holes in teeth, but also holes in people’s lives”

Other dentristry practices focus on just healthcare, getting people in and out. But Kid’s
dental actually works to prevent the need for further care by attempting to change
negative lifestyles.
