Last Thursday (9), Flamengo, in partnership with the company Orthopride, carried out another action of the “Time do Sorriso” project, which brought oral health to some refugee families welcomed by the humanitarian organization Aldeias Infantis SOS Brasil, located in Itanhangá-RJ.

In addition to fun explanations about the importance of oral hygiene, dentists present at the event provided guidance on brushing teeth and distributed kits containing a toothbrush, toothpaste, and Flamengo masks.

During the event, some children who needed braces were referred to one of the Orthopride clinics in the Rio das Pedras region for further treatment. It's worth noting that this was the fourth event Mais Querido has undertaken as part of the "Time do Sorriso" project.
