In rural Tanzania, dental health isn’t just about a nice smile. 😁
It impacts health, school attendance and ultimately employment. A lack of information and access to services can lead to self-extraction, chronic infection and even death.
In 2025 Ace Africa's award winning community drama team put on 12 performances for 9,975 people about dental health. Colourful, loud interactive shows communicate key messages, quickly, to huge audiences.
And to improve access to vital dental services, 10 government nurses and 40 volunteers were trained. This meant five dental health teams could be established to spread information in the community and help people to get urgent dental treatment.
The combination of increased awareness and new dental health teams helped 9,023 people access vital dental health and hygiene services.
And that put a lot of smiles, on a lot of faces.
