Jorn (34) finally let his teeth be checked again after six years: ‘People avoid the dentist because they are afraid of the bill’

“If you have little money, a visit to the dentist is the first thing you skip,” says Jasper Kuipers, director of Dokters van de Wereld. For five years, the organization has been driving through the Netherlands with the oral care caravan to help people who cannot pay the dentist. But especially to bring the problem to the attention. “We would like to see oral care again in the package of the health insurer.”
