What:Dental Mission/Free Clinic
When: Wednesday July 6 until Thursday July 21, 2011
Rise Above Foundation Cebu in the Philippines, is looking for a team of adventurous dentists for emergency treatment of patients who cannot afford to go to the dentist.
The need for emergency dentistry, mainly extractions, is huge here in the Philippines, where more than 40% of the population live below the UN-established poverty line of one dollar a day. More than 97% of children in primary school have 5 or more totally rotten teeth and they cannot afford to go to the dentist, so they’ve had, or are walking around with pain for a long period of time. This is where we need your help.
In January we had, together with a team of dentists from Denmark, Sweden, England and the Philippines, eight amazing days where we were able to provide free treatment to over 600 children and adults from very poor and depressed areas in Cebu.
