A smile for Yessuath

By Yuliana Marcela Tuberquia Aguirre | Lider de proyecto

Jessuath
Jessuath

At the age of two years old Yessuath was walking with his parents in the beautiful mountains of the municipality of Sonsón in Colombia, during this walk they were grazing a donkey owned by Yessuath family and as usual, the little boy approaches wanting to share and play with him; at a moment that no one can explain the donkey becomes aggressive and assaults the little Yessuath in the face causing serious soft tissue injuries, dental loss and jaw fracture.

Since then, he has undergone a series of procedures and treatments to improve his quality of life; his recovery has been slow and has required several reconstructive surgeries. Today, 4 years later, Yessuath requires surgery again, since he has malformation in his teeth and it is necessary to restore his oral health by dental implant surgery and scar resection to restore and correct the changes in the soft tissues of the face.

With everyone's support we can achieve that Yessuath can receive the treatment he needs to regain his health and his smile, we hope to continue counting on your support!
