Dental hygiene is very important for our health and for the houseless community. One way we can help them achieve proper dental hygiene practices would be having access to dental hygiene supplies. There are a few ways to help those less fortunate to have access to these supplies mainly through programs and groups like the Blanchet House, and hygiene for all. The only issue is the Blanchet house doesn’t list dental products as a need on their website.
Travel Size dental product packs are low cost and compact easy for a person to store in any scenario. There are products readily available on Amazon for less than ten dollars. This low cost and small size make it easy for you to donate to places like the Blanchet House or h4a.
It is important to partner with them to see what dental
hygiene products they need or want. The Unhoused community live in conditions
that may make dental hygiene a low priority. Especially as they live through
the winter. Our goal is to help them gain access to more dental products that
could help improve their overall health.
To increase the smiles across Portland it is very important for everyone to be aware of the issue and to donate what they can in order to improve the health of the unhoused. Here are some ways you can make a difference in the
community by contacting these different sources.
