New Brunswick Dental Brigades March 2015 Honduras

Start Date: Mar 2, 2015 12:00 AM
End Date: Mar 8, 2015 12:00 AM

Global Brigades offers a 7 day Dental Brigade for volunteers to participate in throughout the year in Honduras. Dental Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed dentists in urgent and preventive dental services in communities with limited access to healthcare. Dental Brigades also focuses on prevention with dental hygiene workshops. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
