Dental Clinic Sample Itinerary
Dental Clinic is a week-long Service Learning Trip that allows students interested in dentistry to work side by side with local professionals supporting a Mobile Dental Clinic. The clinic, and…
A MEDLIFE Dental Clinic provides free, high-quality dental care directly to communities who lack access to basic services. Staffed by local practitioners from the MEDVIDA Dental clinic, students will work directly with dental professionals to provide quality care. Volunteers function in a variety of roles including patient registration, station set-up, instrument preparation, and will also shadow dentists throughout procedures like extractions, fillings, and cleanings. Students will also have the opportunity to lead adolescent dental education workshops.
In our regular Mobile Clinics, the dental station is consistently one of the most-requested services, but the dentists are only able to treat 15 patients a day. The high demand led to the creation of the Dental Clinic, a Service Learning Trip dedicated entirely to the type of health services the communities want and need!
In addition to our work in the community during the Dental Clinic, MEDLIFE has a permanent brick and mortar dental clinic – MEDVIDA – which supports patients year round.
Our Dental Clinics are staffed by local doctors and nurses. Because they speak the language, understand local systems, and provide culturally sensitive care, our patients take confidence in the work we do and the services we provide.
The MEDLIFE Dental Clinic does more than treat the immediate dental issues patients face. Our volunteers spend a day in a local school educating students on dental health and self-care topics to raise awareness, break stigmas, and provide kids with the tools to lead healthier lives.
