Collaborations and Local Commitment

Committed to the community

At our clinic, we believe that dentistry goes far beyond the dental chair. Our commitment to the community is reflected in projects and initiatives that aim to educate, prevent, and support people through all stages of life.

AFA Association – Alzheimer’s and other dementias

Our collaboration with the Association of Relatives of Alzheimer’s Patients (AFA) is born from deep respect and care for those living with this disease and their families.

Scientific evidence has shown a connection between oral health and cognitive decline. Issues such as periodontitis (a chronic gum infection) are associated with a higher risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

In our practice, we work to offer preventive care, emotional support, and dentistry adapted to the specific needs of these patients, with special sensitivity, patience, and empathy.

For us, caring for oral health during these stages is also a way of preserving the dignity and quality of life of the individual.

British School of Málaga

As a former student of the school, Dr. Marta Fernández Acosta has spearheaded a collaboration with the British School of Málaga with special enthusiasm, based on education, prevention, and personal connection.

At our clinic, we promote the importance of children learning to care for their oral health from an early age.

Teaching them healthy habits, explaining why proper brushing and regular check-ups are important, and detecting potential issues early is key to ensuring they enjoy a healthy mouth throughout their lives.

Prevention and early diagnosis in childhood are the foundation of strong oral health in the future.

We have conducted educational talks and welcome students from the school for internships, allowing them to experience firsthand a committed and approachable dental practice.
