99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
seen people sitting in a plastic
chair, in the middle of the

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
countryside, living in poor
conditions, and we did what we

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
could. Sometimes we could only
make fluoride applications and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
essential services.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When I arrived on the boat, I
almost fell back when I entered

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and saw this clinic structure.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I was so excited; I would make
videos and send them to my

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
family. I would say, "Guys,
there's a whole office inside

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

to get here and not find that.”

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

M<b>ale #2 - Narrator </b>In
the most remote places,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
there is a lack of basic health
information, so an essential

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
part of the doctors' job
is to educate people with

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
good health practices.

We do a lot of restorations, and
unfortunately, we do a lot of

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

without cavities, I think they

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
are infrequent,
just a few cases.

to wash your fruits, vegetables,
legumes, and everything else,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There is no point in
giving medicine today.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Next week, they eat poorly
again, use untreated water, and

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999

get the disease again.
