Dental care is an essential component of overall healthcare, especially since some dental emergencies, such as abscesses, can be life-threatening. However, despite the importance of dental care, it’s not adequately represented within the non-profit space, and it’s falsely assumed to be a luxury. Dental Mavericks, a non-profit organization currently operating in Morocco and Lebanon, aims to change that outlook and bring essential dental care services to refugees and vulnerable communities.
Our team at Zircon Medical recently hosted Cally Gedge, the Executive Director of Dental Mavericks, and Alexander Saber, the non-profit’s field coordinator for Lebanon, on the Zircon Medical Podcast to discuss the importance of making dental care accessible to vulnerable communities. Please read their moving story below and consider contributing to their mission.
