Denver | Global Dental Relief

Volunteer Description

Global Dental Relief welcomes volunteer dentists and hygienists to join our volunteer teams. Dental assistants and dental/hygiene students serve as general volunteers

Volunteer teams include up to five dentists, three hygienists and 10 assistants and general volunteers. Our global dental clinics operate eight to nine hours per day for five to six days (the perfect short-term volunteer opportunity!) and are set up in local schools or municipal buildings. Children are brought to the clinic by classroom and each child receives an exam, all necessary restorations and extractions, cleanings when possible, a fluoride treatment and oral health instruction.

Care is provided to restore permanent teeth, and children are recalled every two years to ensure long-term health.
