In most of Haiti there is no dental care. Where there is dental care it usually means someone in pain can have their tooth pulled. We have a great dentist but are limited to only two dental sessions a month now and due to time, equipment and financial limitations he is only able to perform extractions. In 2017 through a partnership with the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine Chapter of the Student National Dental Association and the National Dental Association’s (NDA) Global Oral Health Outreach Committee and their collaboration with the University of Haiti School of Dentistry we began providing prophylaxis series to children in our area. (see details in our news post) With your support we can complete a dental suite to allow us to provide restorative dental services (fillings) to help save teeth instead of just puling them. Thank you for your support.
