Program Description:
Dentistry India
Join International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the Dental Volunteer Project in India.

On this program, you will gain firsthand insight and experience at a clinic in India. The clinic caters to foreign patients who travel to India seeking affordable dental care. Volunteers will be able to see a range of procedures in action, gain an understanding of dental care in a cross-cultural setting and learn about running a dental practice.

Volunteers in Kerala are accommodated in a volunteer house run by local coordinators, and the rooms are shared with bunk beds.

The program has start dates every Monday throughout the year.

This program ranges from 2-8 weeks. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information for your duration is available on our website.
 
Your Impact

If you’re a dentistry student looking for an international volunteer opportunity that enables you to learn about the operations of a dental clinic in Kerala, this project is well suited to students in the early stages of their studies.

As a dental volunteer you will be shadowing a local dentist in a well-established clinic that provides dental services to foreign patients who travel to India for its relatively inexpensive care. By observing the head dentist, volunteers are able to watch a range of treatments and procedures being carried out. You will also gain a deep insight into running a dental practice and receive dedicated mentorship from the dentist who is very enthusiastic about hosting international volunteers.

Local regulations prevent overseas volunteers from treating patients, so volunteers should expect to assume a largely observational and support role.
