Dental Clinic
The Dental Clinic began in 1984 with support from Rotary International. Since the program's inauguration, hundreds of Rotary volunteer dentists from all over the world have joined forces with Fundação Esperança's Brazilian dentists and hygienists to provide top quality dental care to the needy in the region.
Treatments include restorations, extractions, root canals, caps, X-ray, and other services that are difficult to obtain in Santarém for any price. In addition, the dental clinic performs thousands of prophylactic visits, cleaning, and application of fluoride and sealants.
Bill Chase, the co-founder of 3AO, raised significant funds to help the expand the clinic. In 1993, the dental clinic was re-named the Bill Chase dental Clinic in his honor.
