The Academy of LDS Dentists

Feeling BURNED OUT and UNAPPRECIATED? Donate you skills to the Academy of LDS Dentists for one week of humanitarian service in a third world country. It will change your perspective, improve your self image, and increase your list of friends.

"My recent trip to the dental school in Honduras was definitely a life enriching experience. Not only did we serve very gracious and appreciative patients, but we were able to teach many dental students to sharpen instruments and the correct techniques for ultrasonic scaling. We left them with new skills that will enhance their careers and serve many people in years to come. This one week with us may well be their total clinical hygiene training." ~Karol Aldrich RDH, BS

There is work for anyone who wishes to participate. You could bring a spouse or adult child to make repairs, build, paint, develop x-rays, sterilize instruments or serve as a receptionist. To volunteer contact: Dr. Robert Boyer (801) 966-2090 home (801) 969-1802 office or www.academyofldsdentists.com
