We assist families in a health[br]center called The Family Health

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
dentist, Dr. Iris and Dr. Tayana[br]were excited when they heard an

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
invitation to join[br]the Luzeiro 29.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<b>Female #1 - Tayana -[br]Mission Dentist <i></i></b><i>I have</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
seen people sitting in a plastic[br]chair, in the middle of the

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
countryside, living in poor[br]conditions, and we did what we

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
could. Sometimes we could only[br]make fluoride applications and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
essential services.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When I arrived on the boat, I[br]almost fell back when I entered

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and saw this clinic structure.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I was so excited; I would make[br]videos and send them to my

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
family. I would say, "Guys,[br]there's a whole office inside

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the boat." I thought I was going[br]to get here and not find that.”

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There is a lot of collaboration[br]with donating medicines, with

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
supplies for the work[br]in my area and others.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It was very encouraging.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Also, the work itself,[br]which is the best of all.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
M<b>ale #2 - Narrator </b>In[br]the most remote places,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
there is a lack of basic health[br]information, so an essential

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
part of the doctors' job[br]is to educate people with

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
good health practices.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
<b>Female #1 - Tayana - Mission[br]Dentist <i></i></b><i>The most common</i>

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
thing that comes[br]in is decayed teeth.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We do a lot of restorations, and[br]unfortunately, we do a lot of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
extractions. If I find someone[br]without cavities, I think they

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
are infrequent,[br]just a few cases.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

in children, young[br]people, is germs.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
We talk about the purification[br]of water, about the correct way

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to wash your fruits, vegetables,[br]legumes, and everything else,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to avoid contamination.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There is no point in[br]giving medicine today.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Next week, they eat poorly[br]again, use untreated water, and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
unfortunately, they can[br]get the disease again.

more than one[br]person in the house.

That's common.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000

for your mother.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Don't let everybody use the same[br]brush because the disease you

have will pass on to others."[br]The lack of information is so

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
significant that this[br]information, super simple for

They first met on this[br]Luzeiro 29 adventure.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Their story is about how they[br]cared for people, but it is also

a story of love.
