Does anybody have any information about dental mission trips and how I could find a group going abroad somewhere and catch on? Or anybody that has gone and has a good organization they would recommend???
Removal of the tooth is preferable to no treatment at all, as an infected tooth can cause further painful complications if left in the mouth. The pulp will not heal of its own accord once it has become infected
ISL is amazing! I went on the Costa rica/panama trip 2 years ago. If you go on that trip, try to get Dr. Maffio. He is an dentist and team leader. It is an incredible experience that will change your life! Use fundraising to fund your trip. I got my entire trip paid for by donations from friends, family, and local clubs like Rotary and Lyons. Good luck and have fun!!
