Fresh News From the Field |

Global Dental hosts volunteer dental clinics in four countries:
- Nepal
- Ladakh, India
- Vietnam
- Guatemala
Since 2001, Global Dental has hosted over 600 dedicated dentists, hygienists, dental assistants and non-medical volunteers. Volunteers have treated over 44,000 children with first time and ongoing dental care.
Global Dental recalls each population of children every two years to deliver continuous care. After ten years, we see children returning for their third or fourth visits.
The results are clear
--extractions are rare, restorations small, and children are aware of the importance of diet and consistent oral hygiene.
This is the sustainable legacy we strive to leave with every child we treat.

Dear Friends –
Greetings from Nepal where we just finished the first of two large dental camps. This fall has been chock full of terrific volunteers, patients pouring through dental camps, rich cultural moments and, of course, the wonderful children. We have seen more than 3,900 so far -- children who have no other hope for dental care in their lives.
