In 2015 the Boston University "Henry M. Goldman" School of Dental Medicine implemented a five year program of application of fluoride varnish on children's teeth from preschools in Estelí under the supervision of Dr. Michelle Henshaw. Every three months Dr. Henshaw visits the preschools to train and supervise the educators in the application process. This time, Dr. Henshaw wasn't able to come down, but the preschools did apply the fluoride varnish thanks to the coordination and support from the Ministry of the Family and Boston University.
