Are there opportunities to study abroad while in dental school?

Some dental schools (i.g. UPenn and BU) have programs where you can go abroad. However, I was wondering if this is commonplace for dental schools or not. I checked one of the dental schools I'm interested in and they made no mention of international programs on their website. I've also heard of externships which last only about 1-2 weeks in a foreign country (While you're still in dental school), but that's about it. I'd love to know if these opportunities are common or not, thanks!

I know Indiana University's dental school offers a summer study abroad program at New Castle University in England, but I'm not sure how common they are in general.

Creighton does have an opportunity where you go to the Dominican Republic for ~5 weeks. It's more of a service type trip.
