Dental Volunteer Programs

Looking for a way to combine your passions for helping others, fixing up a good set of canines, traveling, and learning about dentistry? Bite into dental volunteering abroad! Dentistry volunteer programs give dentists and dentists-to-be the opportunity to take part in rewarding education projects that give back to needy communities in a meaningful, long lasting way. Ditch that 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., day-to-day slump you’re in, and dive mouth-first into a world of culture and community outreach. Grab your favorite toothbrush, flash your pearly whites, and head abroad to make a difference worth smiling about.

A Guide to Dental Volunteering Abroad

Why Volunteer Abroad in Dentistry

Many people in developing nations suffer from poor dental hygiene and lack the knowledge necessary to combat preventable dental conditions. For many, dental issues make day-to-day tasks, such as eating, a challenge and negatively affect their ability to find work or feel self-confident. Through dental volunteering abroad, you can bring quality dental care to underprivileged individuals around the world. Dental volunteers may spend their time administering treatment, educating communities on preventative care, and contributing to an overall better understanding of dental health in schools, orphanages, remote villages, and many other locations and institutions.

Dental volunteers will also have the opportunity to experience new cultures and work with patients they may not otherwise get a chance to interact with, thereby making them more well rounded and culturally sensitive dentists (or dentistry students, dental hygienists, etc.).

With dentistry volunteer programs located all around the world, now is the perfect time to pursue dental volunteering abroad and see the world from a new perspective.
