Carinthian tooth in need: free dental treatment for people in need in Ebenthal

Eberhard Kowatsch and Irene Kowatsch, dentists in Ebenthal and head of the Heydents tooth clinic in Graz, created the “Carinthian tooth in need” project together with the aid organization, Caritas Carinthia and the small newspaper. The project aims to offer people in need free dental treatment, since many people, especially between the ages of 20 and 30, suffer from bad dental health. Such problems often mean that affected people have difficulty finding work because they cannot afford dental treatments.

The Austrian health system only insufficiently finances dental treatment, in particular preventive measures are neglected. In contrast, treatments for keeping dental preservation in Scandinavian countries such as Norway, Sweden and Denmark are supported, which means that dental problems occur less frequently.

bad teeth can not only cause health problems, but also impair self -esteem and promote social isolation. In addition, dental problems can lead to serious diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and respiratory problems.

The “Carinthian tooth in Need” project hopes that dentists and their partners hope that more people have access to urgently needed dental treatments and thus improve their quality of life. Medentical Care GmbH and other companies provide materials for the treatments free of charge to support the project.
