Smile Generation Dentists Travel Abroad to Serve Those in Need

On June 21, seven members of the Smile Generation family embarked on a trip to the Mission at Natuvu Creek on the island of Vanua Levu, Fiji’s second largest island, to provide free dentistry to those in need.

During their 4-day visit to the Mission, the team of dentists and staff members helped children and adults in need, performing tooth extractions, restorations and cleanings. The team brought critical oral care and preventive dental health education to residents who otherwise have no access to dental services.

"The people in Fiji were so appreciative of all we did. It’s a great reminder of how blessed we all are once we leave behind the comforts of our little bubble," said Dr. Dean Lambridis.

"It was an honor serving with this group. It’s heartwarming to see people take time out of their busy schedules to come out and care for people on the other side of the world," said We Serve Manager Kyle Guerin.
