Be part of a pioneer humanitarian project in the villages of northwest Cambodia. Working in partnership with local nonprofits, we set up a mobile dental clinic to provide first time dental care to children living in villages around the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat. Volunteers base out of Siem Reap and take a short commute to the clinic each morning. Outside the clinic, volunteers get a firsthand glimpse into rural life in the countryside of Cambodia. Volunteers work in the clinic for six days. After the clinic, the journey continues with sightseeing of Angkor Wat, Tonlé Sap and the surrounding area.
Project Cost: $2,750 (based on double occupancy)
Clinic-Only Itinerary: $2,590 (based on double occupancy)
Call our office for single-occupancy and triple-occupancy rates.
The project duration is 13 days, which includes: travel time to Cambodia, orientation, temple tours in Siem Reap, six days working in the dental clinic and a floating village tour.
Volunteers may opt out of the sightseeing portion of the project and head home after the clinic.

Mission Statement
At Global Dental Relief, our mission is to bring free dental care and oral health education to children around the globe, in Nepal, India, Guatemala, Mexico, Kenya, Cambodia and the US. Teams of volunteer dentists, hygienists, assistants and general volunteers deliver treatment and preventive care in dental clinics that serve children in schools and remote villages. Global Dental Relief programs extend this reach by delivering toothbrushes and oral health education in schools between clinics and by providing critical nutrition to children in high-need situations.
Description
Global Dental Relief Model of Care
GDR provides preventive care and oral health education to children with little or no access to a dentist. In partnership with local organizations, field clinics are set up at schools and municipal facilities, with the exception of Kenya, where clinics are held in a local medical center.
In these clinics, children receive an exam, and are given any needed treatment including restorations, extractions, sealants, and a cleaning. In addition, GDR gives each child a fluoride treatment, and new toothbrush, and 3 points of oral health instruction throughout the visit. Care is provided primarily to restore permanent teeth and children are recalled every two years to ensure long term health.
