Free oral care for older Lagosians, with Lagos State

Luxe Dental and the Foundation partnered with the Lagos State Government on free oral care for 150 senior citizens, as reported by The Guardian.

The Guardian Nigeria reported the partnership under the headline “Luxe Dental partners LASG on free oral care to 150 senior citizens in Lagos.”

Older people are often the hardest to reach with dental care. Our clinicians held one-to-one consultations, explained oral hygiene with demonstration models, and filled in referral cards for anyone who needed follow-up treatment.
