The Adaam Project

American University of Armenia recent studies show "almost 90% of all 12-year-old children have cavities". This is the reason why Healthy Teeth is crucial to underprivileged communities in Armenia!

Our recap newsletter for the The Adaam Project: Healthy Teeth 2015 trip to Armenia is finally ready. Thank you to all of our supporters, none of this could have been possible without your generosity!

A smile is the universal welcome. So SMILE!

"Red, blue, or orange?" The irony of the brush color choices was almost too much for Anoush to handle! Additional pictures and press release will be published on our website soon. Stay tuned to see the impact The Adaam Project made on its 2015 dental awareness campaign in Armenia. Thank you to all those who participated, donated, or followed our venture to keep Armenian youth smiling bright!... -RD

Our project director, Raffi Dadaian, with some of the Going Forward Youth Center children in Gyumri. We were able to supply 300 school-kids with toothbrushes and toothpastes while teaching them about how to brush and protect their tooth enamel from decay. Along with oral hygiene tools, The Paros Foundation, teamed up with Heros Foundation, distributed backpacks and school supplies!

Here is some of the dental hygiene supplies The Adaam Project will be distributing to families and schoolchildren in Gyumri, Armenia on June 8th. Get ready to say "CHEESE" Gyumri!

Recent surveys carried out by graduate students of the American University of Armenia have documented that: The average five-year-old Armenia child has eight decayed, missing or filled primary teeth Between the ages of 14 and 17 years old, the average child continues to experience dental decay at the rate of one permanent tooth per year... Almost 90% of all 12-year-old children have cavities Only 20% of Armenia 18-year-olds still have all of their teeth This illustrates the severe levels of disease in this young population, and is more than double that of children in many other countries.
