Mission Trip to
Ecuador
Dental Care for Those in Need
Full Smile Foundation is hosting a mission trip to Ecuador, and providing free dental care to those in need. All dental and medical personnel, along with non-medical professionals and students, are invited. Your efforts will make a lifelong impact, and you will have the opportunity to experience the vibrant culture of this beautiful South American country.
Join Our Dental Mission Trip
Spend 3 days treating patients and volunteering to help others lead healthier, happier lives. Then, spend the rest of your time any way you’d like—shopping at local markets, exploring the great outdoors, touring the city, and more!
We have access to a full hospital and can provide a wide variety of dental procedures to all ages.
Sunday and Monday will be introduction and team-building days. Planned activities include kayaking, ziplining, hiking, arts and crafts, and community integration. The clinic service will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
