Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children's Dental Care will provide free dental services to children under the age of 16 years from Monday.

Medical Director of Sai Prema Foundation, Doctor Krupali Tappoo says oral health is paramount in a child's development.

The Children's Dental Centre aims to provide quality oral health education, oral examination, tooth extractions, conservative treatment and tooth brushing drills for small children. The centre has opened in conjunction with the Fiji National University and Colgate Palmolive. She says while the Foundation will be responsible for running the Dental Care facility, FNU will provide staff at the centre. FNU’s Acting Vice-Chancellor Dr William May says they have chosen Sai Prema Foundation as their partner in Fiji to carry out ground-based medical efforts to assist the local underprivileged citizens. There will also be dentists and other health care teams from India to assist in providing the services.
