Governor Fidel Herrera Beltran spoke to dentists from Mexico and the United States about his administration’s plans and programs to maintain the health, including oral health, of Veracruz residents.

He mentioned the “Faithful Smile” program as an example, which has provided teeth replacements for 80,000 elderly adults.

The governor spoke at the opening of the 25th anniversary celebration of the Mexican eademy of Pediatric Dentistry, which gathered specialists from both Mexico and the U.S. Dentists gathered for four days at the event in Boca del Rio, Veracruz.

The governor also said that shortly, his administration would be signing an agreement that will seek the inclusion of dental health in the Seguro Popular health plan.

Herrera said that in working to strengthen dental programs in the state, his administration had equipped all the dentistry consultation rooms in the state hospital system, renovated dental chairs in the schools, and refurbished mobile dental units to serve rural areas of the state.

The modernization of dental practice in the state has had the support of all parts of state government, said the governor, adding that the goal is to strengthen the culture of oral care and health in the state.

Herrera said the state Family Development System (DIF) has also been instrumental in spreading the word about good oral health practices.
