Lakeway Dentist off to Peru in March for Dental Mission Trip

Local Lakeway Dentist, Dr. Tejas Patel has joined Kindess In Action for an upcoming Dental Mission Trip this March 2010. Kindess In Action is a Canadian based non-profit that provides dental care for underserved areas in third world countries. They have completed trips and provided dental care for people in Central and South America as well as the Phillipines. Dr. Tejas Patel will be 1 of 3 Dentists traveling to Peru as well as a team of 20 others (including Dental Assistants, Dental Hygienist and volunteers). Dr. Patel is the only one from the United States on the trip. All of the other team members are from Canada. The team will set up a dental clinic outside of Cusco, Peru in the Sacred Valley. They will be able to perform exams, teeth extractions, fillings and cleanings. They will also focus on prevention and oral health education for school children. In the 4 days that the clinic is open, the team will get to provide dental care for up to 500 people. All of these people who will be treated have no access to dental care.
