Volunteers stay in beachfront accommodations and walk to the pueblo each morning to work in the clinic. After five days in the clinic, participants have a free day to enjoy the beach, go snorkeling, or visit the famous ruins of nearby Tulum or Coba.

At Global Dental Relief, our mission is to bring free dental care to children around the globe, in Nepal, India, Guatemala, Kenya, Cambodia, Mexico and the USA. 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.

With a vision to transform lives and cultivate community through volunteerism, we provide opportunities for diverse groups of volunteers to explore the world and bring free dental care and oral hygiene education to thousands of impoverished children.
