Thankfully in the UK people who need dental care can get it through the NHS and usually very quickly too. Depending on the work being done dental care in the UK is also quite cheap but for those looking to spend a bit more for faster treatment there is also the choice of being able to get private dental work. Sometimes in the UK we take these options for granted especially since a lot of other people in the world have no such access to a dentist.
Around 70 per cent of the world's population don't have access to dental care and some don't even have access to simple things like a toothbrush and toothpaste. Because of this a lot of the world's population have very poor dental health and endure terrible pain a lot of the time. Thankfully there are certain people who travel around the world to offer these people the dental care that they need and these people are volunteer dentists.
People who work as volunteer dentists will usually travel to some extremely underdeveloped places where people have no access to a dentist so that they can offer their expertise and help people who need them. They usually do this without pay and a lot even give up time when they could be earning so that they instead can go away and help lots of others.
A dental volunteer's work doesn't just involve performing dentistry on people either as they also teach medical staff in the countries they visit. Despite having paid thousands of pounds for their own training volunteer dentists pass on their knowledge so that as many people as possible around the world have access to a dentist who will be able to help them.
Volunteer dentists are extremely selfless people and the work they do is likely to help thousands of people to keep smiling. The dentists who volunteer to do this sort of work do so because they enjoy helping others and because they get the opportunity to travel and meet some amazing people.
