Centro Escolar University School of Dentistry partnered with the GMA Kapuso Foundation to bring brighter smiles to beneficiaries of the Ngiting Kapuso Project in celebration of the Oral Health Month.

As part of the initiative, 115 individuals received free dentures, 100 are full and 15 are partial, improving not only their oral health but also their confidence and overall well-being. 

Leading CEU’s participation in the project were Dr. Joann Joven, Coordinator for Community Outreach, School of Dentistry, and Dr. Mary Iodine Lacanienta, Dean, School of Dentistry.

With its strong commitment to community service, CEU extended quality dental care beyond the classroom, making a meaningful impact on those in need. Through this collaboration, the University upheld its mission of providing accessible and compassionate healthcare, one smile at a time.
