Objectives of the NATIONAL DENTAL FOUNDATION: -
Provide a National organised and structured platform to enable volunteer dentists, Hygienists and Therapists, Dental Technicians and Dental Nurses to deliver free dental care to the genuine disadvantaged and needy who are in pain and suffering health consequences due to the long waiting time for Public Health treatment.
The National Dental Foundation is keen to hear from any oral health professional regardless of the profession who is interested in volunteering their time and services. There are projects being conducted in many states and territories.
