Volunteer Opportunities

While NASDAD does not organize mission trips, NASDAD does believe in dental missions!! For this reason we believe it is important to make you aware of various mission opportunities that are available through other organizations.
If you are interested in one of the trips, please contact the organization directly. NASDAD is not part of the planning or execution of the trips. We simply want a forum for you to find out about organizations who need dental professionals to volunteer!
If you have an opportunity to list, please email Katie at nasdad@llu.edu.

Dear NASDAD Friend,
 
A Unique Volunteer Experience

NASDAD, since 2016, has partnered with Donated Dental Services in identifying dentists who want to volunteer their time to serve people who cannot afford dental care and:

Have a permanent disability, OR
Are elderly, OR
Are medically fragile

Donated Dental Services has volunteers across the USA but is urgently looking for volunteers in particular areas California - specifically in Rancho Cucamonga and San Bernardino and San Diego.

If you want to volunteer with DDS, you can visit their website by clicking on the link to their webiste, https://dentallifeline.org/our-volunteers/volunteer-now/, for more information and to register. Or you may email Katie in the NASDAD office (nasdad@llu.edu) and she will connect you with the DDS organizers.

In most states, Medicare does not cover dental treatment and Medicaid provides little or no dental care for adults. More than 17,000 people are on wait lists for Donated Dental Services (DDS), the flagship program of Dental Lifeline Network. With support from more volunteer dentists and dental laboratories and more funding, more people can be served.

If you are interested in volunteering in an SDA overseas mission dental clinic, please follow this link and provide the requested information: Overseas Dental Missions. Volunteering will allow the regular, missionary dentist, to take annual leave and vacation.

Volunteers are needed to help advise on and possibly oversee construction of or remodels for dental clinics. 

Volunteers are needed to travel to a mission clinic and repair their equipment so that it is in full working order.
