Millennium Fellowship Project: Project of Preventive and Restorative Oral Health Care in Schoolchildren
Our project was about providing oral care to the people that need it most. We got to approach to different communities and share with them the neccesary knowledge to prevent oral diseases and how to take care of their mouths.
About the Millennium Fellow
My name is Karla Oviedo. I am currently a junior in the University of Las Americas in Quito, Ecuador. The career I chose is dentistry because I care about the well-being of children who unfortunately face poverty, and are not able to pay for these services. I also want to major in oral and maxillofacial surgery to treat children who are born with harelip, and have the opportunity to better their well-being.
