Taguig City - In a collaborative effort to promote dental health among children, the City of Taguig partnered with KIDS International Dental Services (KIDS) to launch a 5-day dental outreach program, known as the KIDS Dental Mission, starting on Monday, November 6.

Led by pediatric dentist Dr. Ignatius Nate Gerodias, a dedicated multinational team, in cooperation with Taguig’s Medical Assistance Office (MAO) personnel, provided free dental services to children.

The comprehensive services included consultations, cleaning, fluoride varnishing, and tooth extractions, aiming to educate and equip children with the knowledge to prevent oral diseases.
