Volunteer Dental Clinics
Volunteer in an intensive week-long dental clinic in:
- Nepal
- Ladakh, India
- Vietnam
- Guatemala
Dental clinics are rich, demanding and rewarding. Volunteer dentists and hygienists work in basic conditions.
Dentists use portable dental units to provide exams, extractions and restorative care. Hygienists offer oral hygiene education and first time cleaning for children.
Essential to a successful clinic, non-medical volunteers manage the lines of patients, assist in record keeping, keep track of children and help with instruments and charting.
Volunteers are moved by the sense of service, and by how much more they receive from the children themselves.
Following the clinic, volunteers may join an optional trek or cultural tour of local sights.

Global Dental thanks the dedicated volunteers who have provided over 44,000 children with first-time dental care.
We are particularly grateful to those volunteers who return year after year.
To date, we have hosted:
- 292 volunteer dentists and hygienists, and
- 512 non-medical volunteers,
- who donated over $8.2 million
in care for children.
Scarf Knitting Project
Join enthusiastic knitters who produce hundreds of coloful scarves. Scarves are handed out to children and are a wildly popular addition to the clinic services.
Scarves should be 40" to 60" long by 5" to 8" wide. They can be made with scraps of yarn but should be washable.
For more information, contact Pam Mathews at -- pammath@msn.com, 303.399.1384 or ship scarves directly to her at: 420 Adams, St, Unit D, Denver, CO 80206. |
