This year, Black Friday in Vigo has taken on a special meaning thanks to an innovative initiative by Clínica Dental Torres. The well-known newspaper Faro de Vigo reported the news in an article highlighting how the clinic decided to transform this commercial period into a solidarity campaign for vulnerable children in Vigo. Instead of offering discounts, Clínica Torres is donating 10% of the total cost of all treatments carried out from November 25 to December 1 to an oral health prevention program in partnership with the ARELA Association.
“This Black Friday we don’t do discounts. We give smiles to the children of Vigo,” said Dr. José Luis Torres in Faro de Vigo, underscoring the clinic’s social commitment and the importance of giving back to the community.
Featured in Faro de Vigo: Recognizing a Social Impact Initiative
The initiative has had a broad impact across the city, and the feature published by Faro de Vigo has helped highlight Clínica Torres’ commitment to a more responsible and community-focused Black Friday model. The article emphasized not only the donation itself, but also the goal of funding educational activities on oral hygiene and providing supplies for families with limited resources.
Thanks to this media coverage, the campaign has gained greater visibility, strengthening the bond between the clinic and the local community in Vigo and generating positive momentum around children’s oral health.
An Initiative That Promotes Children’s Oral Health in Vigo
Current data show that more than 35% of children in vulnerable situations have untreated cavities or gum problems. Lack of proper hygiene, frequent intake of sugary foods and drinks, and limited access to regular dental check-ups are some of the main causes.
The donation announced as part of this solidarity campaign will help fund:
- Educational programs on oral hygiene.
- Training sessions specifically designed for low-income families.
- Distribution of complete dental care kits.
- Screening days for check-ups and early detection.
Representatives from the ARELA Association have stated that campaigns like this one “bring health, dignity, and hope” to children at social risk.
The Importance of Preventive Oral Care in Childhood
Oral health in childhood is crucial for the proper development of teeth and gums. At Clínica Torres, where we work with high clinical quality standards, advanced technology, and a professional yet human approach, we see every day that many conditions can be prevented with simple habits.
More than 80% of cavities in children can be prevented through basic hygiene routines and regular dental check-ups.
Best Practices Guide for Healthy Gums in Children
- Brushing twice a day for two minutes, starting from the eruption of the first tooth.
- Using fluoride toothpaste in the amount recommended for the child’s age.
- Reducing sugary drinks and processed snacks.
- Regular pediatric dental check-ups, annually or every six months.
- Introducing dental floss as soon as teeth are in contact with each other.
- Avoiding harmful habits such as nail biting or pacifier use beyond 2–3 years of age.
