IN-THE-BUSH:
OUTBACK DENTISTRY FOR LAYPERSONS
ODFL is an economical MMC (Medical Management of Caries (= dental decay) training program for laypersons (non-dentists) serving as international volunteers of humanitarian service organizations. Training consists of home study with tele-dental supervised guidance and evaluation if needed.
Locations of service may be anywhere from an Amazon jungle to an urban city squatter community—wherever local health authorities welcome your group.
Candidates must be caring persons wanting to help people with dental needs—especially the most deprived populations. We welcome motivated self-learners.
Services provided include one or more of the following: oral health* education, motivational interviewing, povidone iodine therapy, silver solution with fluoride varnish, SMART. More: see RD-I and II.
Dental and medical professionals are uniquely poised to offer institutional on-site training in medical and dental schools, hospitals, nursing homes, public health facilities, public and private schools, and community based training in all contexts.
