Nearly all of our trips include a dentistry component; the absence of services in most villages we serve, combined with lack of dental hygiene education and a sugary diet, means the need is very high.

While dentists do need to bring supplies and tools with them on trips, LMV can provide a full dental kit to take, and can either reimburse you for supplies you purchase in advance, or can help you fundraise or collect donated supplies before the trip starts. We have certain supplies already on hand in our donated stores. You may also wish to refer to our sample dental supplies packing list.

Further questions? Contact our Chief Dental Professional or your nearest LMV chapter.
