Desigualdade Global Crítica
80% dos dentistas do mundo atendem apenas 27% da população global (Europa e Américas). A África possui apenas 1% da força de trabalho odontológica mundial, com 1 dentista para cada 22.500 habitantes — 17× menos que a Europa. 3,5 bilhões de pessoas sofrem de doenças bucais, sendo a condição de saúde mais prevalente do planeta.
