M'Lop Tapang, Cambodia
The dental program at M’Lop Tapang continues to evolve into a more preventative based clinic. We aim to provide a volunteer dentist visit for at least one week each month to provide continuity of care.
The M’Lop Tapang program operates from a dental surgery located within a medical centre. The program provides dental treatment for street children and their families, dental prevention and education to the families and communities of M’Lop Tapang and training of local Cambodian medical staff regarding oral health. The program also mentors final year dental students and new graduates to promote volunteering amongst younger dentists. Dr Petrina Bowden sources dental volunteers and dental students and dental materials for the program as well as provides dental care during her regular visits to M’Lop Tapang. The program depends on volunteer dentists to provide services. The ICD grant will be used to purchase consumables, to replace minor aging equipment and to help sponsor dental students or new graduates.
