Dental Care

Toothbrush. Toothpaste. Dental floss. 

Regular staples in most household bathrooms that constitute an important part of our everyday necessities. Oral care is a vital component of overall health and wellbeing. Untreated dental conditions can lead to serious complications like abscesses and systemic infections that lead to significant morbidity. Thankfully, access to oral care products is rampant in most developed western countries. This, unfortunately, is not the reality of many of our brothers and sisters in the Middle East. 

In Syria, many children and adults are currently facing unimaginable hardship. With ongoing political conflict, increasing poverty rates, and a shortage of healthcare resources, oral care has become a luxury rather than a necessity for many. Those who cannot afford dental hygiene products are suffering through painful tooth decay, intensifying gum disease, and other oral health complications. The consequences of these conditions are pervasive. Children and adults alike suffer through toothaches that keep them up at night, live with untreated gum infections that make the simple act of eating painful, and face long-term dental damage that is completely preventable. 

Unheard Cries is partnering with on-ground representatives in Syria to help provide dental hygiene kits for individuals who desperately need them. For the low cost of $7, the price of a daily iced coffee, you can provide a Syrian child/adult with the gift of a confident smile and oral health.
