DIF organizations in Mexico have implemented various dental health initiatives to serve different demographic needs.

DIF Guadalajara launched a mobile dental brigade from August 17 to 21, providing free services such as cleanings, X-rays, extractions, and cavity treatments to approximately 600 residents. This program specifically targets underserved populations to address preventative care gaps.

In a separate effort, the DIF Estatal operates the ‘Sonrisas Gigantes’ program, which focuses on elderly citizens over the age of 60. This initiative provides free dental prosthetics to seniors with limited remaining teeth, working in coordination with the civil association Sonrisa Amiga to improve nutrition and quality of life through custom dental molds.
