A Dental placement with Projects Abroad is a worthwhile way to gain practical experience in the field of dentistry whether you are a university student, a trained professional or an aspiring dentist.

Every placement is suited to each volunteer’s individual level of knowledge and experience. This puts you in the best position enabling you to really make a difference. Many people in the developing world do not have access to regular dental care and lack knowledge about basic daily oral hygiene. As a result, you are likely to see cases that are more advanced than in Western countries.

Whether you are working in a hospital or a clinic your role is very important. You will not only enhance your own knowledge, but also give back to local communities by providing care and advice. As a volunteer, you will become part of a team. You will work alongside the local staff, observing procedures.

We also offer placements for elective students and professional roles for qualified volunteers with professional experience. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss these options in more detail.
