DDS4KIDS
Humanitarian Dental Relief Organization

DDS4Kids is a federal and state licensed non-profit health organization with the exclusive purpose to provide charitable dental care treatment and preventive dental health education on a long-term basis to children and adults living in deep poverty in the developing countries in the world. Dentists, health professionals, and non-health volunteers are needed on each team. While sharing our skills and resources with the underserved rural populations, team members will have an opportunity to experience the unique beauty of the country and its people that most tourists do not come to know.

 

Announcements

Do you wish to be a volunteer? Do you have what it takes to be a volunteer? In 2007, some first-time-volunteer dentists on our team demanded "English tea" and "Fish and Chips" while we were in the remote villages in the Mekong Delta! If you cannot live without the daily luxury and comfort you are used to in your own home in the rich world for the two weeks we are in rural Vietnam, cannot be flexible and cannot go with the program set forth by those in charge, it would be a bad idea to join humanitarian teams like ours! OUR TEAMS TRAVEL TO REMOTE VILLAGES WITH THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING FREE DENTAL SERVICES. OUR TEAM MEMBERS ARE THOSE WHO ARE CARING, COMPASSIONATE, HARD WORKING, FLEXIBLE, EASY GOING, ENJOY HELPING OTHERS, AND BRING THE FUN WITH THEM EVERYWHERE THEY GO. WE ARE NOT A TRAVEL AGENCY AND OUR TRIPS ARE NOT VACATIONS FOR THE REGULAR ADVENTURE SEEKERS. DDS4KIDS IS A NON-PROFIT HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATION WITH NO PAID STAFF, ONLY LIFE-LONG VOLUNTEERS.   You don't have to be a dental professional to join, students and all volunteers are needed. * Zambia - contact us for date, available year round on first come first serve basis. * Vietnam - March 7 - 22, 2008 - What a terrific dental relief trip, a great hard-working team and we were able to accomplish much!  Trip report coming soon.  Join us next year for a life changing experience! * Zambia - September 14 - 30, 2008 - Accepting stand-by application. *Vietnam - March 1 - 15, 2009 - Application accepted at this time.
