Mission
Healthy Teeth Project is a local project funded by the US Department of State. Our goal is to reach 1000+ Syrian Refugee kids to educate them about oral health, screen them, and provide prevention.
Implementing a solid foundation of dental practices and improving the children's' oral health and their attitude toward oral and dental hygiene will hopefully result in less incidence of dental diseases. Therefore, our project aims to reduce the cost put on treatment and pain management that happens in the future.

Volunteer Testimonial
A lifetime experience!
It was my first time volunteering in a refugee camp so I was nervous but I really enjoyed
it! Being able to give those kids a piece of information they never got the chance to know
about was a pleasure.
This experience taught me to take on the responsibility as a future dentist to help those
who can not afford to receive dental care!
